through the door. I want to know who my students are and what they are interested in.
That is why at the beginning of the year, I plan on having my students fill out student
interest-surveys and to refer back to them throughout the year. If my students know that I
care about them, then they will care more about the class.
speak. Otherwise, how hard will they work on a certain assignment if they can do no better
than an F?
If a student is absent, then he/she will not get the participation points for that day. There
will be no extra credit assignments in class. If there is any academic dishonesty such as
plagiarism, then it will result in an automatic 0% and a one-on-one talk. If there is down time
at the end of class, then that means I did not prepare my lesson very well. In that case, I
would let them get homework done or converse quietly with one another. As long as they

5. Parents as Partners:
Students are much more likely to be academically successful if their parents are encouraging
them and involved in their academics. Also, parents by in large love to be involved and kept up
to date with what their child is doing and learning. Parents are valuable resources to have on your
side, for they can help you know more about your students. Tap in to that valuable resource!
The first thing I would do is meet some of the parents during registration at the beginning of
the year. This is a chance to make good first impressions and get contact information. I will
create a comprehensive syllabus and send it home with the students to have their parents sign and
return. This way, students and parents can go over the syllabus together and gain some
understanding as to what the class will be like and entail.
I will also try to get as many parents as possible to come to the Open House Night, where
parents can retrace their students class schedule and find out about it. I will be sure to contact
them regularly so as to give them updates about their students. Not just with bad news however.
It is just as important to contact parents with good news and to do so regularly. If a particular
student did especially well on a project or helped teach another student something, that is most
definitely worthy of a call home. Also, I utilize email frequently addressing any misbehavior or
academic problems. Parents need to be informed about their children. My artifact depicts a
classroom newsletter. It does a good job of addressing what is happening academically while
also displaying student work that was exceptional. Students love being recognized and parents
love it as well.
