INTASC Standard #9 Professional Learning and Ethical Practice: The teacher engages in ongoing professional learning and uses evidence to continually evaluate his/her practice, particularly the effects of his/her choices and actions on others (learners, families, other professionals, and the community), and adapts practice to meet the needs of each learner. Description: This powerpoint is a representation of my personal statement regarding teaching. In this powerpoint I discusses the topics that are important to me, on how to be an great teacher. I discuss different variations of topics revolving the job of a teacher. Rationale: This powerpoint best represents the standard #9 of the INTASC standards for teachers, in my opinion.
