Engaging in practices consistent with policies and procedures established by the school authority
Worked with administration and team teachers to review Penbrooke Meadows School COVID-19 Re-entry Plan. Consistently upheld evolving policies for:
- Wearing of PPE
- Cleaning of the classroom and shared areas
- Ensuring physical distancing in classroom set up, during transitions, and on supervision at recess
- Staggered dismissal within the grade one/ two team to ensure appropriate physical distancing
recognizing that the professional practice of a teacher is bound by standards of conduct expected of a caring, knowledgable, and reasonable adult entrusted with the custody, care, or education of students
I take my professional responsibility as an adult entrusted with the custody, care, and education of children very seriously and work hard to create safe, respectful, and caring spaces for my students. I have demonstrated this in my PSII by daily supervision at lunch and recess, helping to organize food bank supplies for students and their families, and daily journalling in which I took the time to individually respond to students. I used the journals to discover my students dreams, needs, and abilities to shape my teaching, lessons, and relationships with my students.
