[|Ms. Hein's website]

Rationale 1: My website was created as a resource for students, parents, and community members to easily access information relating to my personal background, classes, and activities I coach or advise. The website was created for the students in my classes and on my teams (high school age children), their parents, and the community. Having a public website is important to my development as a teacher because as an educator I should be held accountable for the services I provide to the students. An obvious gain to creating this website is because staying connected is important, now more than ever, and this website provides another medium for that.

KSD

10.K.1 The teacher understands schools as organizations within the larger community context and understands the operations of the relevant aspects of the system(s) within which s/he works.

I understand that the classes that I teach and the sports that I coach affect the students, their families, and other community members, so I created a website to give all of them an opportunity to access information including schedule of events/competitions, syllabi, and student accomplishments. I also understand that those very people want to know who is influencing the youth of their community, so I included a personal page that gives my interests, backgrounds, and goals.

10.S.3 The teacher can identify and use community resources to foster student learning.

I understand that a school is an integral part of any community, especially in the small-knit town of Antigo where I teach. I want the students to connect with the community and for the community to feel connected to the school and the opportunities offered to its students.

10.D.1 The teacher values and appreciates all aspects of a child’s experience.

I understand that there is more to educating a child than simply providing lessons in the classroom. In order for students to be career and college ready, they need to be well-rounded. The best way to prepare students is to encourage them to excel not only in the classroom but also in extra-curricular and community activities. My website shows how valuable I believe a well-rounded education to be.
