During my teaching practice, I focused on strengthening the relationship with the school community, which included my colleagues, parents, administrative staff, and of course, the students. To achieve this, I made sure to actively engage in activities outside the classroom, such as the volleyball games in which my students participated, theater outings, and school drills. These experiences allowed me to interact more closely with students and their families, which helped strengthen my bond with the community.

In addition, my participation in the student assembly allowed me to make a direct impact on the students, offering support and showing my interest in their overall development. These activities not only enriched my experience but also helped the students feel supported both inside and outside the classroom.

Another fundamental aspect of my relationship with the school community was my interaction with other professionals and school staff. I established a good relationship with the librarian, the counselor, and the janitor, who were valuable resources for me during my practice. Collaborating with them allowed me to better understand the school environment and ensure that students had access to all the resources available for their learning and well-being.

My relationship with the other English teachers was also very positive. I worked collaboratively with them, sharing ideas and strategies that would benefit our students. This teamwork improved not only my practice but also the quality of the teaching the students received in English.

Additionally, I had the opportunity to closely collaborate with the science teacher and their practicum student, which allowed me to learn from their pedagogical approaches and also share experiences and strategies that could be useful in our respective classes. This collaboration was crucial for integrating different perspectives in the classroom, enriching the students’ learning experience.

My mentor teacher and the practicum coordinator identified this competency as one of my strengths. Both highlighted how my ability to establish effective relationships with my colleagues and other members of the school staff was key to the success of my teaching practice. This skill allowed me to better integrate available resources and support for students, which, in turn, contributed to a more enriching and collaborative learning environment.

My focus on building strong, positive relationships with the school community was an essential part of my practice. Not only did it allow me to learn and collaborate with my colleagues, but it also helped create a more inclusive and supportive environment for the students, fostering their well-being and learning.

These groups consist of two cohorts of young people who work annually to train and develop a community project. This initiative serves to recognize their commitment and encourage them to undertake significant endeavors that will impact their community and contribute to personal growth and development. Providing a platform for recognition not only highlights their achievements but also offers me an opportunity to engage and connect with the parents of my students.

To illustrate how this evidence relates to competence, it's essential to highlight the significant  learning gained from this experience. Teachers often play a pivotal role as the primary support system for students during significant moments. To ensure the success of such events, it's crucial to continue organizing activities that involve parents, enhancing their involvement and fostering a sense of community. This enables students to feel the presence and support of the significant individuals in their lives.
