Most of the TPEs appeared equally important, but TPE 1B I thought was slightly more important than the others. It mentions that teachers need to demonstrate the ability to teach the academic standards, and I agree. Throughout my schooling, I have met many people that are great in math and can solve many difficult problems. However, when it came to teaching the subject it was extremely difficult for them to break down the ideas in a simple form for student learning. In a nutshell, there is a huge difference between knowing a subject matter and being able to teach it.
There were no TPEs that seemed irrelvant. There were many expectations that I put on myself and it was interesting to seem them listed. The only TPE that was unclear was TPE 6: Developmentally Appropritate Teacing Practices. I didn't understand what they meant by "Appropriate". It seemed vague.
