When I think of artifacts I think of arrowheads and fossils, however, the analogy is the same for teaching artifacts, physical evidence of the standard, that can be preserved through the years. According to the commission on teacher evaluation standards, a artifact is defined as follows:
Artifact: A product resulting from a teacher's work (a natural by-product, not a newly created document).
Examples of artifacts could be:
School Improvement Plan
School Improvement Team
NC Teacher Working Conditions Survey
Student Achievement Data
Professional Development
Student Work
National Board Certification
Parent Teacher Organization
Professional Learning Communities
Lesson Plans
Data Notebooks
Family Nights
Parent Involvement/Volunteers
Parent Communication
Morning Meetings
Classroom Websites & Blogs
Student Dropout Data
School Mission, Vision & Values
Artifacts are highly suggested because they help an administrator see your level of performance in a particular area that they may not otherwise see in a classroom observation.
