﻿ Standard 1 Teachers know the subjects they are teaching. The teacher understands the central concepts, tools of inquiry, and structures of the disciplines she or he teaches and can create learning experiences that make these aspects of subject matter meaningful for pupils.

Evidence:  Ration﻿ale: This file was created to demonstrate my knowledge and competencies of setting up a wireless network for home use as part of course EDT 661. While this was not a lesson specifically taught to any of my students, the knowledge aquired from the assignment will directy impact student learning of my fifth and sixth graders as we discuss components of a network. I feel more confident in my understanding of wireless networks and will be able to share my insights with my students

KSD:

1.K.1 The teacher understands the major concepts, assumptions, debates, processes of inquiry, and ways of knowing that are central to the discipline(s) s/he teaches //Through my research and inquiry of wireless networks, I am able to share my knowledge with my students in fifth and sixt grade as we discuss network options, their components and how to set up a network. //

1.S.4 The teacher engages students in generating knowledge and testing hypotheses according to the methods of inquiry and standards of evidence used in the discipline. //After discussion of network options, their components and how to set up a network, I would ask my students to test their knowledge by setting up a functional wirless network within our classroom. While I have not had the opportunity to implement this project with any of my students, I would like to try it with my students because it would put their knowledge to work. //

1.D.3 The teacher has enthusiasm for the discipline(s) s/he teaches and sees connections to everyday life // By requiring the students to test their network set ups in the classroom, it will give them the opportunity to test their knowledge of wireless networks in a real world setting. Ultimately some of the students may take their knowledge and put it to use by setting up their own home wireless network. //
