EED 478 Student Teacher Progress Guide [microform] / E. Anne Eddowes and Merri H. Schall

This process guide consists of a rating scale for use by supervisors of student teachers. The teacher sponsor is instructed to rate the student teacher's performance on a variety of teaching skills in order to provide a structured format for conferences. It is suggested that the scale be used at least three times during the student teaching assignment and that the following ratings be used: functions independently; needs some suggestions; needs frequent suggestions; skill not evident; and skill not applicable. The skills are divided into seven categories: (1) personal-philosophical characteristics (18 skills); (2) human development/variability/exceptionality (16 skills); (3) communication (16 skills); (4) planning and organization (19 skills); (5) content (20 skills); (6) measurement/assessment/evaluation (10 skills); and (7) pupil results (8 skills). Space is provided for written comments. The final category on overall effectiveness asks for written comments on areas of strength, areas for improvement, and areas of outstanding effectiveness. The rating scale is designed for the same sheet to be used up to five times so that progress in each of the skills can be observed. (DC)
