Evaluation will be an ongoing activity throughout
the semester. Feedback will be provided
following observation by the university supervisor. Partnership teachers also are asked to
provide feedback. The university
supervisor will determine the final grade using all the data collected. Letter grades will be given based on the
following criteria:
A Performance
during student teaching is frequently outstanding. Some teaching practices are demonstrated at
the highest level while others are consistently high. The student teacher
frequently seeks to expand the scope of competencies and often undertakes
additional, appropriate activities. (Student demonstrates "4" or
"5" level performance in each of the areas evaluated with the
majority of areas rated "5").
B Performance
during student teaching is frequently high.
Some teaching practices are demonstrated at a high level while others
are at a consistently adequate/acceptable level. The student teacher sometimes
seeks to expand the scope of competencies and occasionally undertakes
additional, appropriate activities. (Student demonstrates "4" level
performance in the majority of areas evaluated with no "2" level
ratings).
C Performance
during student teaching is consistently acceptable. Teaching practices fully
meet all performance expectations at an acceptable level. The student teacher maintains an adequate
scope of competencies and performs additional activities as assigned. (Student
demonstrates "3" level performance in the majority of areas evaluated
with no "1" level ratings).
D Performance
during student teaching is sometimes inadequate/unacceptable. The student teacher requires supervision and
assistance, above that designed into the program, to maintain an adequate scope
of competencies. The student teacher
sometimes fails to perform additional activities as assigned. (Student
demonstrates "2" level performance in the majority of areas
evaluated).
F Performance
during student teaching is consistently inadequate/unacceptable and most
practices require considerable improvement to fully meet minimal performance
expectations. The student teacher
requires close and frequent supervision in the performance of all
responsibilities. (Student demonstrates "1" level performance in the
majority of areas evaluated).
