Introduction
students, parents, guardians, families, and professionals within the school and community. It also
provides evidence of collaboration between individuals relating to the knowledge and undergoing of
education throughout the school and community. This communication and collaboration between
such individuals is important in seeking the upmost success of children, their life skills, and their
knowledge.
Artifact One is a letter, poem, and note of a video. This letter I printed out and hand wrote
each student’s name and signed my name. This was important to me to show my appreciation to
them for being apart of my life and trusting me with apart of theirs. I read the letter aloud to both
classes combined as they had their own and made sure they knew I meant every word. I read the
poem after reading the letter to tie in our current poetry unit with my last goodbye. I wanted to do
something fun and creative, but still be sentimental. I also sent a video to my cooperating teacher
for the following Monday after placement for the students to watch so that they know I really have
not forgotten about them and how much they mean to me. I also want to be sure that their day goes
as normal as possible with them having to get used to me not being there again.
Artifact Two is a letter I sent my second placement cooperating teacher to send home with
students for them and their families introducing myself. This was sent home the Thursday before
my placement. Knowing that the parents of this class are very involved I wanted to make sure they
knew me, my excitement, and my reasoning for being in their child’s classroom.
Artifact Three is a series of notes that I took during my last week in placement one. I was
able to observe four classrooms. Throughout my observations, I was able to see a lot of repetition in
teaching styles, some school wide, as well as a lot of classroom and behavior management. As

possible and fit, the teachers took time to point out different things they do, as well as allow me to
As far as my knowledge gained from classes at Regent, I have learned that communication
is valuable in not only the classroom with students, but with their parents or guardians, other staff
members, and administration. I have also learned the value of keeping data of all communication.
Effective communication with students has proven better instruction. Against the traditional
teacher student method, “Instructors being more empathic and accepting students’ needs might lead
to more appropriate and efficient communication and better learning outcomes” (Notzer,
Abramovitz, 2010). These include say in curriculum. It is shown that students may have cultural
backgrounds to which they do not feel is approached appropriately and fairly in school. The
conflicts within that communication are not purposely overlooked but undermined that students do
not have a say in communication, curriculum, or lessons. This leads into the “immediacy [that]
behaviors [positive and negative] also promote attention to classroom lessons by arousing student
Along with communication and collaboration with students, their parents and guardians are
equally important. Student’ learning starts at home with their parents, so communication from the
beginning about grade level expectations, school expectations, and teacher expectations. I have also
loved the idea of a phone call to parents within the first week of school just to introduce and check
in. It shows parents you care from the beginning and allows them to know the open line of
communication, being that most open houses are not until after the first month of school. “The
effectiveness of communication between teachers and parents, in terms of student achievement and
attendance, [also] has a great importance. Effective communication provides achievement and
improvement by providing support to parents, students, teachers, and schools and promoting
appropriate environments.” (Osmen, Akuzum, Zincirli, Selcuk, 2016). Benefits are beyond between

teachers, schools, and parents when effective and constant communication and collaboration are
intact.
