"Educators value involvement and support of parents, guardians, families and communities in school."
Evidence
I am using my practicum report for this standard as well, but this time we will be looking at the section for standard 4. This standard is all about educators valuing family and community involvement in school. In order for students to be able to learn their best as well as feel safe and supported, I believe that there needs to be open communication between the teacher and the family. I would love for parents and guardians to reach out if they have any concerns, but I understand that in this day and age everyone is so busy! Because of this, I am going to ensure that I create plenty of opportunities to communicate student learning to families in a meaningful way, as well as welcome parents and guardians to join us in class or on field trips to ensure that they feel connected to and involved in their child's learning and overall school experience. In the fourth section of my practicum report my supervisor states that I achieved this standard by building relationships with the parents of my students through meeting each of them at parent teacher interviews, sending home a communication of learning, as well through helping with the Christmas concert.
