Wisconsin Educator Standards for Teachers
InTASC MODEL STANDARDS
Standard #10: Leadership and Collaboration
The teacher seeks appropriate leadership roles and opportunities to take responsibility for student learning, to collaborate with learners, families, colleagues, other school professionals, and community members to ensure learner growth, and to advance the profession.
Connecting with fellow teachers and the community is essential to being an effective teacher. Especially as a new teacher, it is necessary to connect with fellow teachers and staff so I have plenty of models and advisers. To be an effective teacher with my students it is essential that I know the school community and the surrounding community. This will help create a better classroom environment and also will help me connect content with student's lives. Below you will find four examples of fostering a relationship within the school and district community.
Artifact 1: World History Department Meetings
Below you will see a screenshot of my calendar during student teaching displaying the meetings scheduled for the World History Department. I attended these meetings with my cooperating teacher to plan curriculum (artifact 4), lessons, and assessments. I would contribute by providing suggestions for revision or modification, especially when going through assessments and revising for struggling readers and ELL students.
Artifact 2: Pictures of After School Tutoring
Every Tuesday and Thursday teachers spend one hour in the library helping students with classes. This could mean helping with homework, making up missing work, retaking exams, etc. During my semester student teaching I attended almost every after school tutoring session to help students with history work.
Artifact 3: 2016-2017 WWII Exam with Comments (Attached Below)
This is a copy of the World War II exam regular history took at the end of the unit. Before each exam the World History Department goes through assessments and makes revisions for clarity, language, and literacy. Changes are made and the revised version is sent to the ESL and reading teams for review. This exam includes comments on language that was changed.
Artifact 4: Contemporary Issues Unit Outline 2016-2017 (Attached Below)

The departments meets almost every week plan curriculum, lessons, lesson materials, and assessments. This plan highlights the notes taken while the department goes through the unit as well as tasks given to certain members of the department at the bottom of the document. This shows my collaboration and contribution to the World History Department.
