Standard #10: Leadership and Collaboration

The teacher seeks appropriate leadership roles and opportunities to take responsibility for student
learning, to collaborate with learners, families, colleagues, other school professionals, and
community members to ensure learner growth, and to advance the profession.
Placement Hours and Teacher Critics

This artifact is all my placement hours from my preschool placement, my EDUC 101

placement, and my EDUC 250 placement. I also included the teacher critics from my EDUC 101

and EDUC 250 classes. My preschool placement does not have a critic.

The first artifact is my preschool placement hours I accumulated in the fall of 2014 for

EDED 235. I did 271.5 hours at Ivy Tech’s Kid’s Corner Preschool during this time I learned a

lot about making lesson plans and implementing them. I learned to run a classroom by myself. I

had a student during this time that would through tantrums every day, sometimes twice a day, for

about 2 months. During that, I had to use a lot of different strategies to help him learn and

operate when his parents were not there.

The next artifact is my EDUC 101 placement hours. I spent 20 hours, in 2013, in a 4th

grade classroom at Terre Town Elementary School. I spent three days in the class. The next

artifact is the teacher critic, that the teacher did at the end of that placement.

The next artifact is my placement hours for EDUC 250. Where I did 20 hours in a 5th

grade class at Dixie Bee Elementary School in the spring of 2018. It shows both my hours and it

shows what I did every time I went to the classroom. The last artifact is the teacher critic for my

EDUC 250 class.

I picked these artifacts for this standard, because they show that I seek appropriate leadership

roles and opportunities to take responsibility for student learning, and to collaborate with

learners, and colleagues, and to advance my knowledge of the profession. A future goal for this

standard would be to do more placements so that I have more opportunities to “to take
responsibility for student learning, to collaborate with learners, families, colleagues, other school

professionals, and community members to ensure learner growth, and to advance the

profession.”
