I have already completed Component One. Do you think proceeding is ...See More

What Works Martin, based on the info you just provided, I'd say it's possible. You need to show that you plan lessons based on students' needs and provide differentiated instruction, then based on the results, evaluate learning and plan next steps - which is the Architecture of Accomplished Teaching (the helix graphic found in the GENERAL Instructions).
