Clinical Practice Observation Rubrics

Observations

Observations will be completed via Video Coaching , as detailed in the Video Observation Protocol contained on the Participating in Clinical Practice subpage. 

If you would like your Teacher Candidate to prepare a short video clip to address specific Actionable Feedback or a focus between the full formal Observations, you may. As the mentor, you know the needs of your Candidate.

• For example, if Observation Report 4 provided Actionable Feedback that the Candidate was to try a new informal assessment strategy, you may ask your Candidate to video this strategy and provide it as a supplemental video so you two may discuss how well it works.

Please be mindful that Candidates are working on CalTPA Cycles 1 & 2 and completing coursework so have much going on as they complete their program.

Weekly Email samples for Teacher Candidates have been created for your reference and use below.
