Artifact: Student Teaching

Indicator 1  - was met through a PTA program I became involved in. The children had to learn a dance the Cha Cha Slide and perform it for the parents. I also coached girls basketball at the school I am student teaching at.

Indicator 2 - was met by teacher workshops and faculty meetings I had to attend every week during student teaching

Indicator 3 - was met through the PTA program, fundraisers we had, several parties in class for students birthdays and parent teacher meetings during report card time. All these occurred during student teaching.

Standard 17

Indicators 1,2,3,4,5 - All safety precautions are taken during any acitivty done in the classroom during student teaching and my internship. As a acting teacher I would model those behaviors tot he students. I would always give out all insturctions before beginning any lesson . The classroom rules were posted and gone over at the beginning of every week. If rules were not followed and the possibility of any type of harm was posed disciplinary action would be taken. I feel like the class was always watched over and kept safe.

Impact / alignment - The workshops and meetings aI feel like gave me the guidance to have a better impact on the students and to be a better teacher. Safety of course is always important to any teacher no one wants a student to be harmed at school. I always encourage activities ousdie of school for any student . Its good for them in most cases physically and mentally.
