PSMT

[]
 * Introduction:** PSMT stands for Professional Standards for Michigan Teachers. Basically all this means is that the state has put together a wide variety of standards that allow teachers to professionally grow throughout their years of teaching based off of these standards. Here is the link to the website that allows you to look at the pdf of the standards.



Here is another great link to help you see how people actually apply these standards into their curriculum. []
 * Application:** There are seven main standards that all teachers need to attempt to follow so they can "successfully" teach in Michigan. These seven standards are:
 * 1)  Subject Matter Knowledge
 * 2)  Instructional Design and Assessment
 * 3)  Curricular and Pedagogical Content Knowledge
 * 4)  Effective Learning Environments
 * 5)  Responsibilities and Relationships to the School
 * 6)  Responsibilities and Relationships to the Community
 * 7)  Technology Operations and Concepts
