Those standards call for teachers to: know the subjects they are teaching; know how children grow; understand that children learn differently; know how to teach; know how to manage a classroom; communicate well; know how to plan different kinds of lessons; know how to assess student progress; know how to evaluate their own teaching practice; connect with other teachers in the learning community.
