Artifact Description of Class Rules
This artifact was a class rules assignment for SPED 405: The General Educator's Role in Special Education. I created a class rules sheet with the ideal learning environment I will continually strive to facilitate. This assignment allowed me to consider what kind of rules and procedures I want in my classroom and how do I expect students to behave in the classroom so that we can facilitate an inclusive learning community. This class rules sheet is a document that I would hand out to my students at the beginning of the school you on the first day of class. I structured the rules sheet with clear classroom expectations with general descriptions under each expectation, daily class procedures, and rewards or consequences. There is a reflection at the end of the class rules that summarizes what I thought was the most challenging part of creating the class rules sheet and what I thought was more straightforward.

Artifact Description of Letter of Introduction
This artifact is a letter of Introduction that I handed out to the classes I taught during student teaching at Rantoul Township High School, including Algebra I, Honors Algebra I, and Pre-Calculuas/Trigonometry. The letter of introduction provided a space for me to introduce myself formally to the students, giving them my educational background as well as where I am from, what my interests are, and what I hope to accomplish with the students during my experience. The second page provided a space for the students to introduce themselves, through a "Get to Know You" form. I created the introduction rubric for students to fill with the intent of helping myself learn something about the students that would help guide my instruction throughout my 14 weeks of student teaching. Furthermore, this rubric showcases an example of how I provided students an opportunity to establish a personal goal setting for themselves
