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)

​
