Engages in professional growth.
Criteria
The teacher:
Demonstrates habits and skills of continuous inquiry and learning.
- I demonstrate habits and skills of continuous inquiry and learning by attending conferences that were held at the University of Northern Iowa. Some of these included Autism and Arts Education Symposium in the spring of 2015, the African American Children and Families conference in the spring of 2016, and the Elementary Literacy conference in the spring of 2015 and 2016.
Works collaboratively to improve professional practice and student learning.
- Most recently I have had the opportunity to cover an instructional coaches release time two days a week at Johnson Elementary School in Spencer, IA. This has allowed me to work collaboratively with my partner teacher to improve student learning, as well as allowing me to improve my own professional practice. This opportunity allowed me to plan lessons and units with my partner teacher to enhance students learning as well as their writing.
