CI 5033 ACE Creating Safe and Supportive Classroom Reflection
For this model’s assignment, you will complete a self-assessment of your competencies, activities, and compliance with standards, then reflect on your potential leadership strengths and areas for growth. Next, you will interview teachers to discuss current school issues/concerns and the role of teacher leadership in resolving them.
Connecting with other teachers allows you to ascertain areas for collaboration and growth to ultimately improve instructional practices and school operations.
