Initial Program Learning Outcome Category Description of Program Learning Outcome Category COE Competencies for Initial Programs and Shared Beliefs CAEP Standard/ Component and Cross Cutting Themes InTASC Standard(s) /Category NJ Professional Standards for Teachers /Category The Learner and Learner Development Prospective teachers need to understand individual learners and how the learning environment impacts knowledge and skill acquisition. Prospective teachers must understand that learning and developmental patterns vary among learners and that they bring their individual differences to the learning process. Having high expectations for their learners and implementing developmentally appropriate learning experiences helps all learners achieve success. Understanding how cognitive, linguistic, social, emotional, and physical development occurs, with the recognition that learners are individuals who bring differing personal and family backgrounds, skills, abilities, perspectives and interests, prospective teachers can promote a learning environment where learners feel safe and can thrive.
