Parents should play a huge role in the childs learning. If a parent is not active in a
childs school life then the child will not be active in his own schoolwork. I have
really enjoyed doing family projects for my kids homework, and I think that is a
great way to get parents involved. Also making opportunities for parent, or family
member, to volunteer at the childs school is a great way to get them involved.
Make a couple days a month available for family members to come in and have a
story hour with the kids, or an arts and crafts hour, where they can decide what
they will make and spend time with their little one.
5. Competency 013: The teacher understands and adheres to legal and ethical
requirements for educators and is knowledgeable of the structure of
education in Texas.
As teachers we are responsible for the safety and well-being of our student. This
means that we should know the rules and laws of our state when it comes to the
safety of our students and follow them at all times. If the doors of the school need
to be locked at all times, that means shut and lock the doors. If we are expected to
have our students at a certain level, then we need to do everything we possibly can
to make sure that happens. If a student is expected to read at a certain level, then
we need to look for the students who are behind and get them help before that
deadline.
