Standard10

** Teachers are connected with other teachers and the community. **  The teacher fosters relationships with school colleagues, parents, and agencies in the larger community to support pupil learning and well being and acts with integrity, fairness and in an ethical manner. **Evidence 1:** My website [|www.mcedtech.net/andersonwebsite] **Rationale 1:** In EDT 654, I built a basic webpage to communicate the expectations for the classes I teach with the outside world. Used as a stepping stone, the website could be expanded to include links to materials for enrichment, links to printable assignments, and become a general storehouse for all things related to my classes. Students with involved parents typically perform better academically than those without. In its basic form, my website helps parents become informed about the expectations for my classes so we are all on the same page. Once developed, the website would be even more informative, and would also allow students with absenteeism issues to stay abreast of what’s happening in class, and allow them to retrieve materials to try to stay caught up. Use of the website would allow parents, advisors, counselors, and other teachers easy access to the expectations of my courses. By making expectations and information for the courses publicly accessible, it opens up the learning environment for the students. [[home|
