Fortunately I am
originally from the
same area that I teach
in, so I have a personal
connection to the
community that many
of my students live in. I
communicate my
knowledge of various
resources available
through our school and
community to help
families who need it. I
also promote events in
the area to families in
order to build a sense
of community. When I
started in my district,
they drove us through
the neighborhoods that
our population reside
in so that we could see
the different housing
situations that our
students are
experiencing. This
knowledge helps me
understand students
and their needs, and
also plan instruction
that is sensitive to
their situation.
7/12/23

I use what I know

about students and
their community in
CSTP 6: Developing as a Professional Educator
Element Emerging Exploring Applying Integrating Innovating
order to support their
learning. For example,
if I know that many of
my students will not be
familiar with a concept
or topic that we will
talk about in class, I
will provide scaffolds
such as realia,
video/picture
resources, etc. to help
bridge their
understanding.
