The administrator has an understanding of and demonstrates competence in the teacher standards under s. PI 34.02. PROGRAM FOCUS:
The Masters in Educational Leadership Program did not explicitly focus on this standard. However many of things we discussed did relate back to best practices and ensuring teachers are teaching effectively. While some of the assignments did relate back to this standard (for example the Hillsboro Project included as evidence for Standard #3 focused improving teacher performances), I am not including a graduate project as evidence for this standard. EVIDENCE OF PROFICIENCY IN STANDARD 1:
As evidence of my abilities as a teacher I am including all three of my formal evaluations from the Appleton Area School District. If additional evidence is preferred, I would be happy to provide my teaching portfolio. The Administrator has an understanding of and
