The teacher fosters relationships with school colleagues, families, businesses, and agencies in the larger community to support students' learning and well-being. It is essential to develop and maintain a positive and healthy working relationship with colleagues, families, and members of the community. All of these relationships help to foster the educational development of the students. Establishing a healthy working relationship with team members is vital to benefit of students.
Healthy relationships require open lines of communication throughout the team.
I have participated in compiling notes from meetings in which all members of the team offered information or suggestions. I have also been an active participant contacting and meet professionally with parents in the community. A teacher quickly learns that a good relationship with parents and the community allows the teacher a better ability to deal successfully with students who possess varying degrees of behavior. Being an active participant in the community is vital. I have included a certificate for judging in the Regional Social Science Fair.
