1. Teachers consistently work with their colleagues to create environments
that all
Teachers consistently work with their colleagues to create environments that allow for
individual and collaborative learning, and inspire confident social collaboration, active
commitment in learning, and self- motivation. As a part of this effort, teachers interact with
students, families, and colleagues to build a safe, constructive learning climate of honesty,
mutual admiration, support, and inquiry.Allocate at least 3 hours in the field to support this
field experience.Collaborate with a school leader (e.g., principal, assistant principal, dean of
students, teacher leader) about their school’s learning environment and how he or she
promotes a learning environment that is conducive for students with disabilities.Your
discussion should address the following prompts:How does the leader promote an inclusive
environment for students of all abilities?How does the leader ensure all staff are up-to-date
in training associated with disabilities on their campus?What additional training or support
does the administration offer faculty and staff who demonstrate increased need for
promoting a learning environment that is conducive for students with disabilities?How do
you, as a leader, stay up-to-date with regulations regarding disabilities for the students on
your campus?What type of services do you provide on your campus?What types of
disabilities are present on your campus?How do you factor these services into your
budget?What do you do to promote collaboration between the special education staff to
encourage support among all staff members?Include two original questions to obtain
further information about areas of interest you may have.Use any remaining field
experience hours to ask the school leader for examples of tests, test results, and IEPs that
you can review, maintaining school/district and GCU confidentiality practices.In 300 words,
summarize and reflect upon your collaborations and explain how you will use your findings
in your future professional practice.
