Teachers demonstrate knowledge of the content, central concepts, tools of inquiry, appropriate evidence-based instructional practices and specialized character of the disciplines being taught.

Teachers develop lessons that reflect the interconnectedness of content areas/disciplines

Teachers make instruction and content relevant to students and take actions to connect students’ background and contextual knowledge with new information being taught.
