This project has three tasks, each representing a different facet of the role of the professional educator. Task 1 evaluates your ability to recognize and respond to violations of the Texas Educator Code of Ethics. Task 2 evaluates your ability to communicate professionally and appropriately with parents. Task 3 evaluates your ability to respond appropriately to your colleagues. Your question will be evaluated on multiple criteria, including your thorough response to each of the prompts, including your ability to write professionally. To successfully complete this project and avoid resubmission, you must review the rubric with which you are evaluated.You will submit your responses to each of the tasks in one document. The Canvas grading system does not recognize two or more documents within a submission – it only sees the first document. This is why all three parts must be in one document. You must use the TNT 700.1P Professional Communications Response Guide to respond and submit.Here is a short example Download short exampleproject for you to review to understand what is expected to pass this project.
