effectively, and takes responsibility for and participates in professional
growth that results in enhanced student learning. Commendations/Recommendations Working with a Peer |
Professionalism
involves working with not only the students, but also other faculty and
community members. In the spring I
worked with another faculty member on developing commendations and
recommendations in preparation for the school state evaluation this fall. Together we looked at different aspects of
the facilities and the administration.
We pointed out the positive aspects and made suggestions for
improvement.
Effective
communication with parents, students, and community members is essential for a
successful learning environment. This
artifact includes two e-mails from previous students, an e-mail from a parent,
and a response from the Superintendent in response to the parent’s e-mail. The e-mails from both the parent and
superintendent really highlight the way in which I handled a bad situation in a
professional manner for the safety and benefit of the student involved. Indeed teaching involves great communication
skills for the success of the students.
