Class Demographics
Artifact Description
As an artifact to represent Standard 3, I included the class demographics from my six week student teaching placement. This artifact documents the ethnic backgrounds with which the students identify and also any specific needs.
AnalysisThe demographics survey is one of the resources that I used to gather information about students' backgrounds and needs in order to incorporate their experiences and cultures into my instruction. This information also helped me to understand the specific needs of my students, which aided in more effective differentiation. By having this resource available, I was able to develop a learning community in which individual differences were not only respected, but also celebrated.

SynthesisThis artifact provides only a glimpse into the backgrounds and experiences of the students. It is very limited in the information it can provide, however, it offers some significant areas of focus. It reminds me that I need to ensure all students are able to connect to the content and instruction I provide. It also reminds me that students have the opportunity to learn from the experiences of one another. Each year, I, too, will learn from my students and provide more equitable instruction from the knowledge and understanding I gain through the relationships I build with them and their families.
