Interstate New Teacher Assessment and Support Consortium

Portfolio Evaluation

____The teacher intern fosters relationships with school colleagues, parents, and agencies in the larger community to support students’ learning and well-being.

• Community Participation & Involvement:
  During my fall observation I came into contact with some parents through mainly by parent-teaching conferences, i.e. IEP meetings. I also participated in a basketball game between faculty and the middle school basketbally team. However, during my spring internship experience I was not involved with the community as much as I should have been. In the future, I will correct this flaw by attending after school games and other school related functions.

• Communication between teachers and parents:
  It was a great to experience almost all facets of teaching. Even though I considered student-teaching just to be a taste of what it'll be like for me next year if given the opportunity to have my own classroom, I was fortunate enough to have come in contact with parents throughout my internship. Although most of the contact was initiated by parents, I always thought I made myself readily accessible for students and parents.
