Newsletter

Here is my rationale for my newsletter:
NC- North Carolina DPI Elementary Education Specialty Area Standards
Standard: Standard 16: Elementary teachers develop as leaders in their schools and communities by staying informed about educational policy issues and supporting professional development. Elementary teachers participate in co-curricular activities, provide leadership in student and curriculum involvement, and connect these activities to the development of citizenship ideals in their students.
Indicator: Indicator 3: Teachers communicate with parents, guardians, and caretakers to build partnerships between home and school.
USA- ISTE: National Educational Technology Standards (NETS) for All Teachers

Standard V: Productivity and Professional Practice. Teachers use technology to enhance their productivity and professional practice.
Performance Indicator C: Apply technology to increase productivity.
Performance Indicator D: Use technology to communicate and collaborate with peers, parents, and the larger community in order to nurture student learning.

Rationale for Newsletter

Context:

Using Microsoft Publisher, I created a 1-page newsletter to send home the students in my block internship at Mtn. View Elementary.  I used a digital camera to take a picture of myself.  I also used a scanner to scan a childhood photo for the newsletter.  To edit the pictures I used Adobe Photo shop.

Impact:

When I teach I can use Microsoft Publisher to create newsletters and announcements to give to my students.  This will be a great way for me to communicate with parents.  

Alignment:

I have met competency VC because creating newsletters on a computer is much more efficient then using paper and pencil.  I can reuse the newsletter form year to year and change it as I need to.

I have met NETS-T Competency VD and NCDPI standard for elementary educators #16, indicator 3 because this newsletter allows me to communicate with parents using technology.
