INTASC STANDARD 10
COLLABORATION, ETHICS, AND RELATIONSHIP
The teacher communicates and interacts with parents/guardians, families,
school colleagues, and the community to support students' learning and
well-being.
RATIONALE
It enriches student education to bring culture, family, and school
together because students begin to understand their impact on their
future and communities. This is why the University of Utah has
encouraged its student teachers to continue to work with families and
communities in all of its education classes and during student teaching.
We interacted with parents during Parent Teacher night, and the Family-School Partnership in the program is a perfect example of the involvement that educators can have with the parents, students and community to create something larger than themselves: a community mural for the school and literary works written by the students that will be stored in the school library. The involvement of the parents increased the impact on the community and their interaction with educators, an invaluable experience.
