Key Two: Communication with your Cooperating Teacher and School • Communicate with your Cooperating Teacher • University expectations that need enforcement in the schools (professionalism, dispositions, attire, duties, attendance, deadlines, lesson plan formats, etc) • University expectations for cooperating teachers (transitioning into teaching, observation time and feedback) • Email or call your cooperating teachers at least once a week to keep the lines of communication open • Be specific and pointed with questions regarding performance • Cooperating teachers need to know that they have the support of the university supervisor; therefore, get to know your cooperating teachers
Key Three: Communication with your Student Teacher • Communicate with your Student Teacher • Get to know your student teachers • Learn their concerns and needs • Address problems with a sense of immediacy • Be timely with your observations - don’t put them off! • One introductory visit and three subsequent visits are recommended to ensure the Student Teacher has a successful experience • The observations need to extend across the duration of the placement • Contact the student teacher weekly between formal observations
Key Four: Performance Feedback • Must provide verbal and written feedback • Feedback must be objective • Feedback should be explicit and specify what needs to be changed, how much, and when • Most effective feedback includes: • Brief latency between act of teaching and delivery of feedback • Congruence between focus of feedback and instructional aim • Feedback should be easily understandable and should include use of prescription when critical feedback is required
Key Five: Organized Documentation • Document, document, document. Everything. • Student teaching documentation should include but not be limited to the following: • Email communication between you and the cooperating teacher • Email communication between you and the student teacher • Email communication between you and field placement coordinator • Cooperating teacher weekly progress reports • Student teacher weekly progress reports • Field observation data and feedback • Completed evaluation paperwork (D1 Form, D2 Form, 5100 PE Form, PETE Field Placement Evaluation System Rubrics) • Don’t forget LiveText data entry!!!
