Name of Artifact: School Culture

Date: September, 2015
Relation to Teacher Education Program: Assignment for ADED 42292
Where: Howland and Howland Middle School
Why & How: The school culture essay for Practicum 42292 is an excellent example
of how a teacher can research the culture and history of their school and town to
make more informed choices for their students. By researching factors such as
socioeconomic standing, median average income, and education level teachers are
able to make more informed decisions for their students in particular. This type of
research also helps a new teacher understand the community and the communities
involvement with their students, and how to best use the community as a tool.
