TRB Standard #4
Educators value the involvement and support of parents, guardians, families and communities in schools.
Educators understand, respect and support the role of parents and the community in the education of students. Educators communicate effectively and in a timely manner with parents and consider their advice on matters pertaining to their children.
For TRB Standard #4, I have chosen to include a thank you card from one of the many community visits I arranged during my practicum last year, a photo of a guest speaker that I also arranged during the same practicum. I feel that they demonstrate my understanding/support of the role that parents and the community play in the education of students. I also chose to include various letters and permission slips that I created that were sent home to parents/guardians as I feel that they demonstrate my effective communication.
