 * Evidence 1:**

The evidence for this standard is my webpage, hosted on the Hortonville school district Content Management System (CMS). My website has a link to each class I teach and pages include photos and links to other resources for class enrichment. Art-I in particular has many projects, to keep students and parents informed I have included handouts, due dates, and web links. This makes it easy for students, families, and support staff to keep track of what needs to be done on a daily basis. Students can print handouts, parents can be more involved with their child’s education, and fellow teachers have access to the projects and information. The web site has been a useful tool for communicating with students outside of the classroom. Parents can use it as a way to keep track of their children’s progress and active in the educational process. Students have used the site as a way to communicate with me and each other, on a variety of class projects and assignments. I developed this webpage, and continue to enhance it, it has become a tool for everyone involved in the educational process.

KSD This website has allowed students to access information from home and helps students who have been absent, to keep up to date with course work. It allows them to be a productive member of the class without physically attending class on a regular basis.
 * 10.K.2 The teacher understands how factors in the students’ environment outside of school may influence students’ lives and learning. **

The development of this website was specifically designed with students and families in mind. It allows students access from any computer with an Internet connection including access from public computers at the library or while attending after school programs. Locating the web site is easy, anyone can Google the school by name and locate the link to both my web page and email address under the ‘contact staff’ link.
 * 10.S.4 The teacher establishes respectful and productive relationships with parents and guardians from diverse home and community situations and seeks cooperative partnerships in support of student learning and well being. **

The development of this website required a great deal of preparation on my part. I attended two training sessions to learn the new webpage technology. I have consulted other teachers for tips and ideas when constructing the web pages. I have spent countless hours sourcing out quality links for classroom enrichment while creating a website that will enhance the overall learning experience for my students.
