Subject Matter
I have a strong knowledge of the subject matter I teach and I can facilitate the acquisition of that knowledge in my students.
Artifact #1
BIOLOGY CONTENT KNOWLEDGE 0235 Test Date 1/14/2012
Praxis Score 174
Possible Score Range 100-200
Pass Requirement 149
Average Performance Range 152-173
My Praxis Score demonstrates that I'm qualified to teach Biology because not only is it a passing score, but it is an above average score. The fact that I received a passing score on my first attempt also demonstrates that I'm qualified in my content area. The file below is a copy of my Praxis Score Report.

Artifact #3
I created this Prezi lesson plan on the subject of Photosynthesis in my Educational Technology Course (EDUC 2500) at Dixie State College during the Spring 2012 sememster. This artifact provides evidence of my having a strong knowledge of biology because it specifically demonstrates my knowledge of plant anatomy and physiology, photosynthesis, it's ecological significance, historical perspective, biochemical reactions, and molecular structures of common biological reactants. In addition to having a strong knowledge of the subject matter, I'm able to present the information to students in a simple, easy to follow, step by step process as seen in the artifact. This ability will facilitate the acquisition of that knowledge in my future students.
