Domain IV: Professional Responsibilities
4a: Reflecting on Teaching
4b: Maintaining Accurate Records
4c: Communicating with Families
4d: Participating in the Professional Community
4e: Growing and Developing Professionally
4f: Showing Professionalism
This domain focuses on the responsibilities of the teacher outside of the classroom. These responsibilities include reflecting on teaching, maintaining accurate records, communicating with families, contributing to the school district, growing and developing professionally, and showing professionalism. Teachers who demonstrate all of these components are highly valued in the work place, and will be seen as true professionals within their careers.
This domain includes a few artifacts I have created, as well as some overviews of professional events I have attended. It is our job as teachers to never stop learning professionally. This will help to enhance our practice, as well as teach us that going beyond the classroom is what is expected of us in order to contribute to the overall well-being of our students. Taking professional responsibility is one of the best things we can do for ourselves, as well as for our students.
