Standard 10: Collaboration, Ethics, and Relationships
Summary
A student’s well-being and learning are enhanced when the community, families, school colleagues, and parents or guardians are involved in their education. A teacher’s responsibility is to understand these influences and collaborate with them to make for better individuals.
Common Artifact- Heritage Night
Riverside Elementary School, the school I have done the most work in here in Rochester, MN, had a family activity night entitled Heritage Night. They set up classrooms to resemble different countries, had food for sampling, and music provided by the children. It was a great way for the families to get involved in their student’s education. I was able to participate by volunteering in the Mexican necklace room and later got some henna and my name printed in Arabic.

Night at Quarry Hill Nature Center
I volunteered during my student teaching to be part of the school night at Quarry Hill. They had a special dinosaur exhibit and Jefferson Elementary rented the building for a night so that their families could come see it. I ran a picture frame decorating station where children could decorate their frames after dressing up in dinosaur costumes and getting their picture taken.
