Standard #1 Teachers know the subjects they are teaching.


  1. Teachers know the subjects they are teaching. 
  2. 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.
I have a BA in Theatre and Music from the University of Miami, and I been working professionally as a theatre producer, director and teaching artist for more than a decade. To showcase my advanced knowledge in theatre, here is my professional theatrical resume.
