Hi! Welcome to my digital portfolio. My name is Lindsey Cox, and I'm a pre-service teacher at Kent State University. I'm very excited to begin my career as a secondary teacher of Integrated Language Arts. This wiki will serve as a way for me to express my understanding of the key NCATE/NCTE program standards.

Standard 4.4
Candidate creates opportunities for students to analyze how social context affects language and to monitor their own language use and behavior in terms of demonstrating respect for individual differences of ethnicity, race, language, culture, gender, and ability.

Differentiating instruction: I will give my students choices when it comes to projects and assessments. My best example of this I learned from my Teaching Literature course at Kent State taught by Mrs. Batchelor. It's a project menu. A project menu gives students several different options to complete for a final project. Each option typically represents a different intelligence. In the beginning of the year I would explain to my students that not everyone learns the same. I would then allow them to experiment with the different intelligences so they can determine which one they fit. Here's an example of a project menu for the final project after finishing "To Kill a Mockingbird."
