Standard I: Teachers Demonstrate Leadership


Element Ia. Teachers lead in their classrooms.
Teachers demonstrate leadership by taking responsibility for the progress of all students to ensure that they graduate from high school, are globally competitive for work
and postsecondary education, and are prepared for life in the 21st century. Teachers communicate this vision to their students. Using a variety of data sources, they
organize, plan, and set goals that meet the needs of the individual student and the class. Teachers use various types of assessment data during the school year to
evaluate student progress and to make adjustments to the teaching and learning process. They establish a safe, orderly environment, and they create a culture that
empowers students to collaborate and become lifelong learners.

Comments
Pilkinton, Connie Elizabeth: Ms. Vasquez's class is very positive and nurturing. She has pictures of the children throughout the room and pictures of their families. During the building study she is
incorporating the types of homes her children live in. In the book center, she has diverse books for her children to explore. During the observation, it was noted that Ms. Vasquez went over expections for
various activities. When one child was having a hard time, she reminded him of his calm down strategies and gave him time so that he could rejoin the group discussion. Throughout the year, Ms. Vasquez
has used a variety of methods to communicate with families. She has included family acvitivies to help connect what they are doing at school to home. Possible next steps: begin including individual plans
onto lesson plans and who is going to be in the small groups Using initials instead of names for confidentially purposes.

Standard III: Teachers Know the Content They Teach


Element IIIa. Teachers align their instruction with the North Carolina Standard Course of Study.

Comments
Pilkinton, Connie Elizabeth: When planning, Ms. Vasquez refers to both their assessment curriculum and Foundations. Throughout the room she has writing materials and books that relate to their current
study. She has plans for both indoor and outdoors and incorporates literacy, math and science throughout the room. Throughout the building study, the children are learning about global awareness. She also
reviews what they have previously learned and connects it to new materials. The materials throughout the room facilitate play to expand learning in all domains. Possible next steps: Create a center lesson
plan for each center to document all the awesome things you are doing in the classroom as well as document your intentional planning.

Comments
Pilkinton, Connie Elizabeth: Ms. Vasquez uses TSG to add in the assemesnt of children by entering anecdotal notes and using that information to determine where the child is with each objective. She utilizes
the TSG reports to determine who needs to work on what goals. The classroom has appropriate materials and is arranged to allow for all children to be engaged. Materials focus on current study and
children's interest. Ms. Vasquez also using technology to enhance learning for children by encouraging them to serach for their own answers. Throughout the day, children are asked open ended questions to
enhance their critical thinking skills. They are encouraged to discuss questions with peers and think about their answers. Ms. Vasquez uses a variety of languages to talk with her children as well as visuals
and gestures. Possible next stpes: begin creating individual plans for children who need it. When planning for small groups, include that information on your main lesson plan and be sure that those are the
children that you are working with. Think about assigning partners for children to work with during turn and talks.
