Artifact 38New Educator Training PowerPoint
•This artifact was developed during my practicum experience at Liberty Elementary School. •My role in producing this project was as facilitator of the NET program assisting new teachers in completing their portfolios. •Positive feedback was received from the new teachers and administrators.
•This project addresses the following Florida Educational Leadership Standards: Standard 7: Technology- The principal plans and implements the integration of technological and electronic tools in teaching, learning, management, research and communication responsibilities.Standard 8: Learning, Accountability, and Assessment- The principal monitors the success of all students in the learning environment, aligns the curriculum, instruction, and assessment process to promote effective student performance, and uses a variety of benchmarks, learning expectations, and feedback measures to ensure accountability for all participants engaged in the educational process.Standard 9: Human Resource Development- The principal recruits, selects, nurtures and where appropriate, retains effective personnel, develops mentor and partnership programs, and designs and implements comprehensive professional growth plans for all staff—paid and volunteer.
•Reflection: I learned a great deal from this experience. It is important to make sure each teacher is equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to protect his/her students. Portfolios are such a tedious job on top of being a first year teacher. This enabled them to focus on teaching while getting familiarized with their new school. I learned to facilitate professional development and coach new teachers. I will utilize this knowledge in all that I undertake.
