CORE 4 INTERNSHIP EVALUATIONS

As your intern teaches lessons: KEEP Observation Form
Mentor teachers should complete the KEEP when their intern teaches lessons and during formal observations by the university supervisor.  Mentor teachers, please note: Your written and verbal constructive feedback is integral to your intern's success. 

Early May: Kansas Educator Evaluation Protocol (KEEP) and Educator Dispositions Assessment (EDA)
Mentor teachers should submit the KEEP and the EDA the first week of May via PASS, WSU's data management system. MTs will receive an email from PASS (and likely a follow-up email from Dr. Cramer) in late April with instructions for how to submit these licensure assessments.

Below are guides for the KEEP (from KSDE) and the EDA (from WSU), if you'd like to explore these assessment tools further.
