Engages with the Community Outside of the Classroom
|
Teaching occurs within an existing community of adults – other teachers, counselors, special education teachers, coaches, administrators, and parents – who are invested in the students success. Learning how to communicate and work with colleagues and how to follow building, district, and state policies is part of learning to teach.

My calendar, which maybe seen in the screenshot furthest to the left, contains all the Southfield Junior Varsity Baseball games. I have been serving at a volunteer capacity as their assistant coach since January 2015, when off-season conditioning began. The picture shows the time commitment that I have made in order to be a more visible member of the community, as I am weary of being perceived as a piece of furniture at the school.
The Southfield Public School District utilizes a template for a weekly lesson plan, which is to be submitted every Friday via email to a building administrator. Our English Department composes coplanned lessonas in order to save one another time and to eliminate potential redundancy. Since September, I have been composing the senior composition and literature lesson plans for the English Department. The email screenshot shows how the chain - I send the lesson plan to my mentor teacher (the department chair), who then distributes accordingly.
The scanned handout on the far right of the gallery was taken from a building-wide professional development meeting about proctoring for standardized tests like the MiStep and the ACT. The teaching artifact demonstrates my willingness to follow building and state policy, as well as a willingness to work with colleagues.
