As in Year 1, Resident Educators will be required to complete some documentation of meetings with their Resident Educator Mentors. This may done in the form of a Collaborative Log or an Interactive Journal entry developed by the Resident Educator and RE mentor. It is important to remember that Collaboartion should be implemented in order to ensure that:
By continually revisiting monthly Taskstream requirements at the beginning of each month, you will set yourself up for success with meeting ODE and District requirements for your Residency Program. This reflective way of working seeks to move beyond a traditional "this is how we do things..." style of mentoring that is focused on the "logistics" of teaching practice and toward independent reflection on teaching practice, intentional instructional design and delivery, authentic assessment and analysis of student learning and increased knowledge of content in order to improve student achievement. This ongoing work within the Residency Program is also directly aligned with your OTES rubric and will support your growth and learning within this evaluative system as well.
It is a requirement to complete 1-3 Collaborative logs or Interactive Journal entries per month
The first shared Collaborative Log (Standard, Monthly Log) is the primary Collaborative log. The Standard Monthly Collaborative Logs are interactive and can be completed electronically. The additional, alternate logs can be used as needed in place of the Standard, Monthly at any time. The alternate logs are not currently interactive, but can be completed manually and scanned into Taskstream. It is recommended (but not required) for each Resident Educator to complete at least one of the Alternate Collaborative Logs throughout the course of completing their Year 2 requirements.
