GVWP Teacher Consultant
STUDENT RELEASE FORM
(to be completed either by the parents/legal guardians of minor students involved in this project, or by students who are more than 18 years of age
that are involved in this project)
Dear Parent/Guardian:
I am a classroom teacher consultant (TC) for the Great Valley Writing Project (GVWP). Reflecting on student work
helps me examine and improve my teaching practice. As a TC, I often share my classroom practices (including
samples of student work) with other teachers of writing. The primary purpose of this type of professional
development is to enhance student learning and encourage excellence in teaching.
On occasion GVWP uses reproductions of student work and photographs of teaching demonstrations as evidence of
teaching practice. The samples focus on the teacher's instruction, not on the students in the class. In the course of
this academic year I will select classroom photographs and representative writing samples, which may include some
of your child's work.
No student's last name will appear on any materials that are shared. The form below will be used to document your
permission for these activities.
Sincerely,
(Consultant Signature)
