DOMAIN D LITERATURE REVIEW
Abstract
This literature review describes the two artifacts in my Professional Development Quest
Portfolio (PDQP) in Domain D. Domain DC includes TPE 8 and TPE 9; it focuses on “Planning
Credentialing, "California Teaching Performance Expectations", 2013, p. 15). The first artifact is
an example of a first day of school project I would do with my students. The second artifact is a
5th grade Language Arts lesson plan. The third artifact is a formal observation from my master
teacher during my student teaching process. I have discussed the rationale of using these specific
artifacts in my PDQP.
DOMAIN D LITERATURE REVIEW
According to Constantino and Lorenzo (2009) “Using national or state standards when
developing a portfolio provides credibility to the documentation” (p.11). I will be using the
TPE Domain D is “Planning Instruction and Designing Learning Experiences for Students”

Artifact 1 is an example of a project I would use on the first day of school. The simple

and would need to draw their expressions. An upper grade student might want to express more

While knowing your students on an academic level helps you design and implement appropriate
lessons to help them meet standards. Knowing your students on a personal level will allow you
to reach them easier and understand what they may be going through. Their personal lives will
affect their academics. This artifact demonstrates that I believe in the importance of TPE 8:
Artifact 2
Artifact 2 is a 5th grade Language Arts lesson that I planned. I feel that this artifact
demonstrates my ability to plan instruction based on state adopted content standards, TPE 9. TPE
9 states “Candidates plan instruction that is comprehensive in relation to the subject matter to be
taught and in accordance with state-adopted academic content standards for students” (CTC,
2013, p 16).
Artifact 9
The third artifact I included for Domain D of my PDPQ is a formal observation written
gave me high scores across all domains, including Domain D which was Integrating.
According to Constantino and Lorenzo (2009) “Good teaching is and will always be a
matter of sound planning and preparation, able classroom management, attention to quality
