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 paper will be evaluated on multiple criteria, including your thorough response to each of the prompts and your ability to write professionally.
