Innovating
I adapt behaviors and create new strategies for unique student needs and situations.
A teacher fluently uses various strategies to show her intensity and enthusiasm for the material being taught. When a specific student queries the relevance of content, she tailors explanations of the importance of the content to that student using humor, prior knowledge about the student, and her own previous experiences learning the content.

Applying
I demonstrate intensity and enthusiasm, and I monitor the extent to which students’ engagement increases.
A teacher uses a variety of strategies to show his enthusiasm for the content he is teaching. Furthermore, by assessing student engagement before, during, and after specific strategies, he is able to see that the incorporation of humor, personal stories, and direct statements about the importance of content into lessons makes students more enthusiastic about the material being taught.

Developing
I demonstrate intensity and enthusiasm, but I do not monitor the effect on students.
A teacher exhibits enthusiasm for her subject area but does so without paying attention to how her show of excitement affects her students.

Beginning
I use the strategies and behaviors associated with this element incorrectly or with parts missing.
A teacher can explain the relevance of the content being taught, but only when she is prompted by students. She incorporates movie and film clips into her lesson but does not tie them back into the content being taught.
