Applications In Tk20, students can complete applications for both program admission and field experiences/student teaching. Benefits: • Accuracy • Decreased Paper Trail • Reporting Ability
Field Experience Benefits: • Program Improvement • Collect assessments used by candidates and clinical faculty to determine areas that need improvement • Identify points at which students are dropping out of the program • Systematically study changes to ensure that program improvement is occurring
Field Experience Benefits: • Day to Day Operational Needs • Eliminates data entry • Reports that identify eligible teacher candidates at each transition point • Forecasting reports
Field Experience Benefits: • Accreditation • Collect comprehensive assessments from admissions to student certification • Demonstrate diversity of field placements • Align assessments with professional, state, and institutional standards
Advisement Benefits to UWF: • Tracking student progress • How many students are in each stage? • At what point do students drop out? • How long does it take for students to get through each stage? • Necessary for program improvement and accreditation
