Teacher candidates have a strong knowledge of the subject matter they will teach and can facilitate the acquisition of that knowledge in their students (National and state standards).
Artifact 1: Praxis Test Score
For my first artifact for Subject Matter (DM3), I have attached my Praxis Test Scores from June 2010. I feel that these scores are a good artifact to demonstrate my knowledge of the subject matter that I will teach. I also feel that by finishing the Elementary Education Program at Dixie State College, that I will know how to facilitate the acquisition of subject matter knowledge in my own students in my classroom. Achieving a passing score on the Praxis is in no way an end to my own quest for knowledge. I will continue to seek ways to learn and to grow in all subject areas throughout my career in the teaching profession. If I live a life that seeks knowledge, I hope that through my example, my students will also grow to have an intrinsic motivation learn for the rest of their lives.

Artifact 2: Teaching Evaluations
For my second artifact for Subject Matter (DM3), I have attached one of my first semester teaching evaluations and one of my third semester teaching evaluations. Since each lesson that I taught for my evaluations was aligned with the state core curriculum, I feel that these evaluations are a good artifact to demonstrate my knowledge of the subject matter that I teach. They also show that my teaching skills improved over the course of three semesters, and show that I have grown to become more competent in my teaching skills and strategies in the classroom. I feel that there is always room for improvement and that I should always take the time to reflect on my teaching strategies. Through my reflections, I will be able to continue to learn and to grow throughout my career.
