Science Saftey Survey Rationale

Context: This assignment was done for Jeff Goodman in GS 4401 as a part of my Block II. I surveyed my teacher as well as some other authority figures about the whereabouts of some saftey equipment in Blue Ridge Elementary School in Warrensville, NC.

Impact: This is very beneficial to know, and things like this should be kept on hand incase there is an intern such as myself, or a substitute who might need to get ahold of something and doesn't know where to find it. I will do this in my classroom to ensure the safety of my students.

Alignment:

Standard 17 Indicator 1: I have met this standard by giving my students instructions that will keep them safe during experiments as well as supervising them to make sure they follow these directions.

Standard 17 Indicator 2: I have met this standard by doing all of my experiments before allowing my students to do them to check to make sure students are cautious during point in my lessons where they may encounter danger.

Standard 17 Indicator 3: I have met this standard by going through the school and learning where all of the safety equipment is located in the instance that I may need to get ahold of something.

Standard 17 Indicator 4: I have met this standard by showing my students how to do experiments the proper way to ensure their safety.

Standard 17 Indicator 5: I have met this standard by developing a plan to help keep my students and my school safe.
