FIVE-YEAR TEACHER EDUCATION PROGRAM

INTERN PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT

RUBRICS (Practicum 5 - EDUC 612 – “Intern” Fall Semester)

(All Content Areas)

BACKGROUND

The WVU Five-Year Teacher Education Program is a nationally recognized, rigorous teacher preparation program. Graduates from this program are typically recognized as being among the top teacher candidates in the nation. The program is designed not just to meet but to exceed existing national standards, such as those put forward by the West Virginia Professional Teaching Standards (WVPTS), the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE), and the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE). The program’s ten Characteristics of a Novice Teacher provide both a framework for the teacher education program as well as the standards by which we measure Pre-Service Teacher Candidates’ performance as they progress through the program. These rubrics, organized around the ten Characteristics, are a critical tool in the performance assessment process. They not only serve as an assessment tool, they also are intended to be used as a guide for the requirements of the Internship. PURPOSE

Performance rubrics have been developed for advanced practica in the Five-Year Teacher Education Program to help Mentor teachers and Pre-Service Teacher Candidates make explicit the expectations related to the complex set of behaviors novice teachers engage in during their Internship. Rather than abstract assessments that leave Interns unsure of requirements and levels of performance, rubrics should leave little doubt about performance assessment. USE

Mentor teachers and Interns should familiarize themselves with the rubrics before the Internship begins. Then, use the rubrics each week to assess performance and complete the weekly evaluation form, the midterm and final Internship Rubrics Scoring Forms, and the Mentor Teacher Recommendation letter. LEVELS

Interns and Mentor teachers should orient themselves to the rubrics by looking first at the “Basic” column and consider this to be a minimum performance expectation (i.e., the starting point from which to work, as opposed to one’s goal). However, please note that if a Pre-Service Teacher Candidate only scores at the “Basic” level in all areas, as a result he or she still will not have earned a passing score. With this in mind, Interns cannot rely on scoring in the “Basic” category only and expect to be awarded a passing score for his or her Internship and proceed in the program. Therefore, it will be important for the PST to focus on, and strive toward, earning no less than a “Basic” score for only a few sub-portions of individual performance elements, while achieving a “Proficient” scoring for as many of the others as possible in order to earn a grade higher than a “C”. In this manner, an Intern could anticipate having earned a passing score for his or her PDS performance. A “Proficient” performance score reflects a preferred performance and one that should be targeted for Interns. Because specific wording for performance designations can often be incorrectly interpreted to suggest an expectation of perfection, we have removed the “Distinguished” category terminology. With this in mind, please refrain from holding Pre-Service Teacher Candidates to a standard that demands perfection (something that few, if any, of us ever achieve) when awarding scores.

SPLIT PLACEMENTS

As we prepare for the newly Teacher Performance Assessment requirements that are being introduced to all Teacher Preparation Programs throughout West Virginia, we will no longer be able to practice “Split Placements” for Practicum 5/the Internship semester. Therefore, we will no longer be needing to combine information from two sources or placements as in the past. SCORING

There are 2 places to check-off each indicator. The first place is a circle - ; the second is a square - . The circle is for the midterm assessment; the square is for the final end-of-semester assessment. It is not expected that all indicators will be checked at midterm or that all of those checked will be checked at the “Proficient” level at that time, but it is expected that they will all be checked by the end of each semester and the level of performance will have improved (if/when there is room for improvement). It is important to keep in mind that some indicators are intended to describe regular behaviors (such as effective communication) that should be exhibited each time an activity occurs, while other indicators are intended to document the accomplishment of activities that may only occur a few times during the semester or may only be possible late in the semester. Hence, the rubrics are cumulative. Certification requirements vary across content areas. Because of this, additional content-specific rubrics may also need to be completed.

There may be times when a Pre-Service Teacher Candidate - Intern is unable, for reasons beyond his or her control, to meet an expectation. In these rare occasions, the indicator should be marked “N/A” (not applicable) and a note should be attached to the Final Intern Rubrics Scoring Form. N/A is to be used only with note of documentation of special circumstances, signed by the mentor teacher. There are adjusted scales on the Final Intern Rubrics Scoring Form to be used in the case of N/As being assigned for up to 5 indicators.

There is an area on the rubric for you to note the scores your Intern earns at the end of the semester for every element. While actual scores are not recorded at WVU at midterm, it is critical to mark these boxes at midterm. The midterm markings makes it clear to Interns what areas they should target for improvement during the remainder of the semester. At the end of the semester, please transfer these scores onto the Final Intern Rubrics Scoring Form GRADES

In order to translate the scores on the rubrics to a recommended grade for the practicum, use the Final Intern Rubrics Scoring Form. This form, guides the mentor teacher and Intern as to how to assign points for each score and then how to tally these scores and assign a grade.

There are certain conditions under which an Intern will receive an automatic failing grade, an “F” for the practicum. These include not returning all borrowed materials to the mentor teacher and/or the school, not paying a lunch bill in full, or three (3) unexcused absences. In addition, any action taken by an Intern that is deemed unacceptable by the host PDS may result in receiving an “F” and dismissal from the PDS (for example, using profanity in interactions with students and/or faculty, fraternization with students and/or faculty, alcohol or other substance abuse, physical violence, dishonesty, or any other major violation of the school/PDS handbook).

A FINAL NOTE . . .

To be accurate, Intern performance must be scrutinized carefully, and this set of rubrics used with rigor. Our goal is that these rubrics will not only help mentor teachers and Interns authentically capture the Intern’s performance at this point in time, but also be a tool to help Interns improve as they continue to experience and practice the role of teacher.
