Student teachers will be formally observed at a minimum of four times during the semester by the University Supervisor.
For student teachers who have two 8-week placements, there will be a minimum of two formal observations per 8-week placement.
Note that those participating in International Student Teaching, will complete all requirements and be evaluated the same, but within a shorter semester. All four formal observations will need to be completed prior to the abroad experience.
Student Teachers should use the KY Framework for Teaching Rubric to guide the self-assessment and create a Professional Growth Plan. This Framework is what is used to evaluate you during your observations.
Professional Growth Plan and Self Assessment: Student teachers will complete the Self Assessment at the beginning of the student teaching placement and again at the end of the semester.
OBSERVATION FORM to be used for each formal observation.
Each time you click on the above link it will ask you to make a copy. This will allow you to create a new form for each observation, if needed.
Starting in January 2022, this information will also need to be entered into the Anthology Portfolio Account by the University Supervisor.
Student teachers and university supervisors do not need to sign the formal observation evaluation forms. This data will be stored in Anthology and will be viewable to the student teacher to review as well as the Office of Professional Educator Services once the supervisor has submitted it in Anthology.
Student teachers are formally evaluated using this form at least 4 times in a semester. (At least 2 times in each 8 week placement)
WKU Disposition Rubric: Student teachers should understand the importance that dispositions play on the success of their future as an effective teacher and on the .final grade they will receive in each placement. The Disposition Rubric gives detailed criteria for each the areas that are listed on the Midterm and Final Evaluation documents.
The Supervisor and Mentor Teacher will use the Dispositions Rating Rubric as part of the Midterm and Final Evaluation grades.
