Formative Assessment Summary

You will observe four (4) formal lessons taught by the teacher candidate throughout each phase. You will complete this form while observing each lesson.

You will give the form to the teacher candidate after each lesson. The candidate will store the form with the lesson plan in his/her binder for the duration of the phase.

If you are observing the teacher candidate via SIBME, the candidate will upload the video and annotate in SIBME.  You will then respond to the candidate’s annotations in SIBME.  That “exchange” serves as the formative assessment summary.

At the end of the phase, the teacher candidate will submit the forms or SIBME annotations and lesson plans to you via Taskstream.

Assessment Forms

Based upon your formal observations of the teacher candidate throughout the clinical practice experience, you will complete two (2) forms (sent as a Taskstream survey via e-mail): Midterm Assessment and Final Assessment. You may download the forms here beforehand to view the questions and possible responses.

Before submitting the forms on Taskstream, print a copy for your teacher candidate’s binder for reference during conferences with the teacher candidate and/or cooperating teacher.

End-of-Placement Reflection:  Cooperating Teacher

At the end of the phase, you will be sent a Taskstream survey via email to complete. The survey will ask you to reflect on your experience with the assigned cooperating teacher. You may download the form here beforehand to view the questions and possible responses.

Need for Improvement Action Plan

If you are experiencing any sort of difficulty with the teacher candidate, the first level of intervention is implemented within the assigned site of clinical practice. This site intervention requires a written action plan (with a designated time for the intervention) and plans for providing extra support.

The action plan specifically identifies the area(s) of concern and the methods for collecting performance evidence during the planned intervention. The action plan will be signed by the candidate, the cooperating teacher and the university supervisor. After the signed action plan is reviewed by the program coordinator, a copy of the action plan will be placed in the candidate’s PLNU file.
