Outreach and Collaboration

According to NNSTOY (The National Network of State Teachers of the Year), the standard around Assessments and Data falls in the sixth domain:

Domain VI: Improving outreach and collaboration with families and community

The teacher leader understands that families, cultures, and communities have a significant impact on educational processes and student learning. The teacher leader works with colleagues to promote ongoing systematic collaboration with families, community members, business and community leaders, and other stakeholders to improve the educational system and expand opportunities for student learning.

For the purposes of my evaluation in the Fort Madison Community School District, Domain 6 is further broken down into two sub-domains, outlined with a three point rubric, illustrated below:
