 * Evidence 1:** DECA Wikispaces Website

**Rationale 1:**
I created a website on wikispaces.com to use as a tool for students, school colleagues, parents, and local businesses to be aware of what is going on with our high school’s DECA Chapter. DECA is an organization of Marketing students who compete at local, state, and international levels, donate time and money to local and national organizations, and interact at social events within the organization. This website has helped me as one of the advisors to keep everything organized and an easy way to get out information to the masses fairly easily.

**KSD:**
10.K.1 The teacher understands schools as organizations within the larger community context and understands the operations of the relevant aspects of the system(s) within which s/he works. One of DECA’s goals as an organization is to help high school students prepare for the real world. Therefore, it only makes sense to keep everyone on the same page to what is going on, when, and what type of participation is needed. 10.S.3 The teacher can identify and use community resources to foster student learning. At DECA competitions, students are given real world problems and are then put into a role play situation with a person from the business community to present their findings to. One of the best ways for students to prepare for these competitions is to use community resources, such as people and businesses, to gain more knowledge about their competition topics. 10.D.5 The teacher is willing to work with other professionals to improve the overall learning environment for students. The overall goal of DECA is to prepare students for the real world. In order to properly prepare them, I, as a teacher, must work with these business professionals to understand the current trends and needs for the business world.
