Characteristic 2: We believe that the novice teacher should be an effective communicator.
In EDUC401, I created a parent letter that I would send to students in the beginning of the year. This letter introduced myself, told parents some background information, and encouraged them to contact me at any time. Letters like these show the parents that you care and want to include them in their child's learning.
Characteristic 3:We believe that the novice teacher should recognize that teaching is a professional, moral, and ethical enterprise, should understand moral issues and ethical practices in educational environments, and should have developed ethical frameworks which facilitate effective teaching.
An artifact for this characteristic can be my Classroom Management Plan. This shows how I will run my classroom, which will be in a moral and ethical way. It will give an in-depth look at my future plans and intentions once I have my own classroom.
