1 Artifact 11 A PowerPoint created at Liberty Elementary School for an FCAT parent meeting. This artifact was developed during my practicum experience at Liberty Elementary School Spring 2007. My role in producing this project was as a member of a team. I was responsible for gathering information to discuss and assisting in presenting information to parents. This project addresses the following Florida Educational Leadership Standards: Standard 4: Community and Stakeholder PartnershipsThe principal collaborates with families, business, and community members, responds to diverse community interests and needs, works effectively within the larger organization and mobilizes community resources. Reflection: I learned that teacher leaders are school leaders. Parents genuinely want to do what is best to help their students. It is the role of school leaders to provide parents with the tools they need to help their children. Educators have the tools and they need to share. This meeting provided parents with necessary tools. The evening was a success and we will duplicate it each year.
