The National Board for Professional Teacher Standards provides a suggested timeline in the portfolio that comes in "the box." The timeline details what should be accomplished each month to stay on schedule. I decided to go through that timeline and make a plan for myself.
One of the tasks listed for Month One is to get the release forms signed. I had a plan for the student releases, but I realized I had forgotten to arrange to have the adult releases signed. Adult releases have to be signed by any adult who might appear in the videotapes. I figured I would need adult releases signed by my two classroom assistants and by the school social worker who works closely with my students. I didn't really plan on having them in the videotape, but I would rather have the releases signed ahead of time, just in case.
Another task listed for the first month is to begin a communication log for Entry 4. That's the entry we started in our pre-candidate course; it looks at our commitment to learning through our work with students' families and the community, and through our development as a learner and as a leader/collaborator. A sample log is provided with the entry. I already communicate with each parent every night in a school planner. I'm going to have to find out if I have to use the log provided by the Board, or if I can use my own planner.
