The Renaissance TWS Group The Teacher Work Sample Project was developed by The Renaissance TWS Group, a consortium of teacher preparation institutions that are using teacher work samples as a tool for instruction and performance assessment of teacher candidates and are committed to promotion and development of work samples through sharing of information, materials, expertise, and research.
The Seven Elements of the TWS 1. Contextual Factors 2. Learning Goals 3. Assessment Plan (with a pre-assessment and a post-assessment) 4. Design for Instruction 5. Instructional Decision-Making 6. Analysis of Student Learning 7. Reflection and Self-Evaluation
Key Assessment for Impact on Student Learning • All students in ITP (initial teacher preparation) programs in the department of Middle-Secondary Education & Instructional Technology (MSIT) complete the TWS during their semester of clinical practice (similar requirement in Dept. of Early Childhood). • Each element of the TWS is scored with a rubric. • Rubric for Analysis of Student Learning is used as the key assessment for Impact on Student Learning.
Analysis of Student Learning • Rubric is attached to assignment in LiveText; each student’s work is evaluated by the university supervisor. • Aggregate scores are calculated for each program using LiveText C-1 reporting. • Reports are entered each reporting period in a template in LiveText for easy retrieval.
