Standard 6

**Standard 6** ** Teachers communicate well. ** The teacher uses effective verbal and nonverbal communication techniques as well as instructional media and technology to foster active inquiry, collaboration, and supportive interaction in the classroom. Rationale 1: The blog was created for students and parents as a guide to help them follow the curriculum of second grade and get access to assignments. My classroom website was also created to allow parents and students as well as other teachers access to my schedule, classroom expectations, discipline plan, online games, activities, and practice worksheets. It also has a link to my email and my phone number so parents can contact me with any questions. Students and parents can always go to the website to check on things and get up to date announcements. The website provides a lot of nonverbal information about our second grade classroom and provides a way to communicate with me outside the classroom via email and phone. I also have a recording on my website that talks about our classroom and the expectations that students can listen to. The teacher used a computer to create a classroom website. The website has downloaded assignments, provides different powerpoints, audio from the teacher, and different activities and websites to visit to work on different subject areas. The website is used for both parents and students in both verbal language and in written language to introduce the teacher and the classroom. Through these features the parents and students can learn about their teachers expectations, announcements throughout the year, the grade level curriculum, assignments, and other things to work on to develop their skills. Parents and students are able to express there thoughts by emailing the teacher or getting access to call the teacher.
