Title of Artifact: Teacher Evaluation Date: _May, 2005

This artifact is my most recent teacher evaluation performed by my principal on May 6th, 2005.

This artifact primarily addresses Standard 9: Reflective. I believe the goal of the evaluation process is to allow the teacher to reflect on his or her teaching skills, and use that reflection to improve upon those skills.

This artifact secondarily addresses all of the other standards. The evaluation is split into categories that effectively address of the standards, from planning, to instruction and assessment, and involvement at a district and community level.

I believe this artifacts best aligns with KSD3c. Engages Students in Learning. As the teacher reflects upon the construction criticism provided by the evaluator, I believe the final intended result is for the educator to be able to successfully engage students in learning.

This alignment secondarily addresses the following KDS Standards:
1. KSD3a. Communicates Clearly and Accurately
2. KSD4a. Reflects on Teaching
3. KSD4e. Grows and Develops Professionally

I learn that there are many parts to the evaluation process. The evaluation year began with the development of a list of goals I had to achieve for myself. I learned that I can effectively improve upon my teaching by creating a specific list to reflect upon throughout the year. Periodically reflecting on my progress with my principal assisted me in continually gauging my success toward achieving those goals.
