Student Teaching Group

This is where we are

  1. We have identified how to proceed i.e. formatting and procedures. Yeah.
  2. We have disaggregated INTASC principles 1-6 into desired candidate behaviors or performance indicators for standards 1-6
  3. A completed standard for your perusal.


Things to do: Next Time
  1. Codify language delineates between Unacceptable and Distinguished levels for performance indicators for principles 1-5. See example
  2. Develop performance indicators of for INTASC principles 7-10.
  3. Codify language delineates between Unacceptable and Distinguished levels for performance indicators for principles 1-5.
Please email me if you have any comments or input on the format or content. Thanks.

Student Teaching Group

Student teaching at FSUClaudia, Jeenie, Jo Ann, Louise, Barb, Cheri, Steve

1. Statement about Student Teaching at FSU

We believe that student teaching experience at FSU is the active, field-based, observable, performance of content knowledge, pedagogy skills, and professional dispositions, necessary to positively impact student learning.

This culminating activity provides a practical experience in which multiple observers, assess and reflect upon candidates’ capacity to successfully enter the teaching profession.

Pre-conditions / Conditions

The development of a collaboration between stakeholders and a shared vision of outcomes and proficiency levels.

Developing a supportive mentoring relationship between, university faculty, K-12 stake-holders, and student candidates in which candidates my develop their skills in an authentic setting.

2 3 Outcomes:

Davidson language in rubric, INTASC for level 3 proficient.

Outcomes Round 2

USE THE STATE, DISPOSITION FORM AS A START

Exit Outcome Assessments:
Reviewed history and intent of documents.
Contrasted Elementary & Secondary CAPSUL formats.
DIBLES, RTI,

2a

Unique
Clinical - K,S,D, continuous, active demonstration (performance) evaluated by multiple observers socio-cognitive skills are the


Portfolio- Disaggregated by INTASC standard, artifact based, discrete documentation of student knowledge S D, by multiple observers.


CAPSUL- Aggregated, performance based, application, case-based.

What is the purpose? Differences between Elementary & Sec.
Implementation of skills
  1. Create
  • Student evaluations for cooperating teachers.
  • Student evaluations for supervising teachers.
  • An intro FE
  1. Redefine / Revise
  • All FE outcomes.
  • Student evaluations for clinical experience (move it online, beef it up).

God almighty, this is the extreme long way to say pedagogy and andagogy need to be assessed in the field experiences (FE).



Who does the FE1 & FE2 observations?

ONLINE FORMS SUGGESTIONS
  1. Fields should be populated in final check out. Why are we having to assign the teaching level and field? That should pull from somewhere.
  2. We should be able to mask non active information in addition to sorting. All I care about is the current semester.



What are the purposes of FEs?

Clinical suggestions.
Stakeholders meet-up prior to field experience.


PDS personal would like to participate in FSU classes as observers, guest speakers, something. ***** What a great idea ******


A few items from the the school of hard knocks

  • Supervisors meet with students prior to their leaving FSU
  • Student information includes email and phone contact numbers for candidates and supervising teachers*
  • Journals become required and electronic i.e. Blogs
  • Capsul examples are electronically available including rubrics
  • Capsul encompasses some action research project
  • Portfolio examples are electronically available including rubrics
1) It confirms that teaching is a socio-cognitive, developmental activity that part knowledge part skills. We are going to use it regardless.


INTASC 6 Technology Gap

The INTASC language is showing age relative to newer language.and outcomes i.e. Inspiring creativity and innovation.

INTASC - 10
Weakness- Relationship building with students is weak across all the principals and it is beyond strange that is isn't in 10.

NACTE - Dispositions are minimal and not operationalized well and needs to be defined as program outcomes.


INTASC 5 - weakness
