Evaluations For All Placements

Evaluations forms are provided for you below. Scroll down the screen and then click the links to save the evaluation forms to your computer. Use the Midterm & Final Evaluation once at midterm and again at the end of the placement. 

During the placement, plan to share each evaluation with the student teacher and supervisor.

The forms are .PDF  to complete electronically or word to print off and complete by hand. Download and save them to your computer. You will use the Observation form for the Midterm Evaluation, then again for the final Evaluation.  You may also print them out to complete by them hand. If you are unable to download or open the documents, contact the Field Office (fieldoffice@graceland.edu) and the form(s) will be sent to you as a word document. The university supervisor will collect your forms (electronically or on paper) at the end of the placement. 

 

Assessing your Student Teacher

Observations should be spaced about 2 weeks apart. You will complete three different types of evaluations for your student teacher

  1. Observation Evaluation (Based on InTASC  and Learning Objectives)  (6 total)
  2. Professional Dispositions Evaluation (Professional Behaviors)  (2 total)
  3. Lesson Critique (Lesson Delivery and Preparation) (4 total)

IMPORTANT, the midterm and final evaluations are summative, so all criteria needs to be evaluated. 

Refer to the Evaluation Schedule below for when you should complete the evaluations:

These evaluations will be completed regularly throughout the experience as outlined below and on your evaluation documents. These evaluations are based on your observations and interactions with your student teacher.  Examples of what you will be assessing are : lesson planning and preparation, lesson delivery, differentiating instruction, use of technology, pre-post assessments and professional behavior.

Reliability - First Observation (InTASC)

On the first observation , plan to complete the  InTASC Evaluation at the same time the university supervisor completes his/hers. Compare your scoring with each other and discuss areas you differ in your assessment.

Midterm and Final (Exit) Evaluation (InTASC & Dispositions)

For these evaluations, you should consider ALL observations and interactions you have had up to the point of the evaluation with the student teacher. 

In order to receive a passing grade, the summative evaluation ratings for each standard must be at the Developing, Basic, or Proficient level. A student teacher may NOT receive an unsatisfactory rating and still pass student teaching. If there was no opportunity to observe a criterion, choose Not Observed.

Lesson Critique

Student teachers will teach many lessons during their student teaching.  For these, they must use the required Lesson Plan template when preparing their lessons. Four of these lessons will need to be observed and critiqued by the cooperating teacher using the Lesson Critique.  An informational Lesson Critique Checklist is provided to assist you in evaluating the lessons. Review each evaluation with the student teacher and discuss areas of strength and areas needing improvement. The student teacher should sign the form after you discuss the evaluation. Please make your evaluations available during the supervisor's observation visits.  You may use the guide below to help you plan out when you will complete the lesson critiques.
