Artifact: 256 Observation Host teacher evaluation
Reflection:
During the entire 256 observations you always had to be displaying professionalism, from the instance you walked into the building to the moment you leave school grounds. It was imperative to show that your committed to education because it is a profession and there are certain standards that go along with that title. As a visitor of the school, you should always be on time or early, proper dress, knowing you place as a teacher of an entry level position all of these define professionalism. The final evaluation of my observations display the professional manner that I always conveyed. Element 6.1: Teacher candidates will demonstrate behaviors that are consistent with the professional ethics of highly qualified teachers.
