Portrait of an Educator
The Reynoldsburg Portrait of an Educator focuses on five competencies that we not only look for in a highly-qualified candidate, but reflect work already being done throughout the District.
A Reynoldsburg Professional is:
- Culturally Literate
- Focused on Classroom Culture and Collaboration
- A Reflective, Life-Long Learner
- A Flexible, Relationship-Builder
- A Contributor to the Community and the Education Profession
Culturally Literate
This is done through partnership with stakeholders in bridging gaps, communicating knowledge in multidirectional ways, acknowledging, and seeking to understand personal bias and communicating high expectations for all students. We strive to shift from monocultural to multicultural relevant perspectives in response to the world around us. We work with students to build bridges between home and schools through genuine respect for all.
Focused on Classroom Culture and Collaboration
A Reflective, Life-Long Learner
This is done through creating an environment to synthesize various perspectives and demonstrating value to self and all stakeholders. We strive to continuously improve by reflecting about where we have collectively and personally been and where we want to go. We work to consider new ways to hone and improve ourselves, our craft and the educational environment.
A Flexible, Relationship-Builder
This is done by committing to understand students and content well enough to scaffold learning with a willingness to let the learner generate and lead experiences based on interest. We strive to create emotionally and intellectually safe learning spaces where students can iterate their learning and “fail forward”. We work to make connections with students, families and the world beyond Reynoldsburg City Schools.
