Artifacts and Rationale Statements
1 point for each artifact; 2 points for each rationale statement (student teaching expectation)

For each element, include one artifact from student teaching with accompanying rational/reasoning statements.

  • The artifact:
    - Is a physical, tangible, creative representation of something you have done within student teaching to demonstrate progress towards proficiency for that element.
    - Is not a summary statement describing an activity within student teaching.

  • The rational/reasoning statement will include:
    - How this particular artifact is connected to that element
    - What YOUR role as a teacher candidate is/was, as it relates to the artifact


Reflection Statements for Each Standard
6 points for each standard reflection (student teaching expectation)

Include a final overall reflection for each standard

Standard reflections should answer the following question:  What level (accomplished, proficient, developing, or emergent) do you believe you have achieved at this point with regard to the standard?
​
Standard reflections should include:

  • Direct connections to the standard (does not necessarily need to address each individual element)

  • Impact on your growth as a teacher

  • Impact on your students as learners

  • A description of the PROFESSIONAL GOALS you have set for yourself as a result of your reflection
