= Standard 10 Teachers are connected with other teachers and the community. = The teacher fosters relationships with school colleagues, parents, and agencies in the larger community to support pupil learning and well being and acts with integrity, fairness and in an ethical manner. Evidence 1: Action Research

Rationale 1: The action research study allowed me to research the most effective assessment strategy for students. I was then able to share my findings with other professionals. The findings were shared in order to show the best way to assess student learning. My action research was done in an organized, ethical and fair manner. I was able to grow professionally through completing this project by researching numerous resources associated with the topic of assessment and learning the different types of testing, their benefits and downfalls. My students were able to benefit from the research study because I now use the most effective assessment methods within my classroom, as discovered in my findings. My students’ scores now truly reflect their understanding of concepts taught in class.

KSD 10.K.3 The teacher understands and implements laws related to students’ rights and teacher responsibilities (e.g. for equal education, appropriate education for students, privacy, appropriate treatment for students, reporting in situations related to possible child abuse). I kept all of the findings from my research confidential. I also made sure that both the students and their parent(s) filled out consent forms that allowed them to participate in the study.

10.S.6 The teacher acts as an advocate for students. By sharing the results of this action research study, I was able to act on behalf of the students by explaining to other colleaugues how different assessment methods affect students.

10.D.4 The teacher respects the privacy of students and confidenciality of information. All the data that I collected in this action research study was either anonymous or coded. This kept the student information confidential.
