EDU 4166 (2) [Wed 5pm] or EDU 4566(3) [Tues.4pm] Using
Data to Assess Student Impact in K-12 Classrooms.
Included in your packet is an overview of Evidence (EE) 5
which student teachers will be addressing. They will be using
data they collect from their students for this evidence.
A copy of the syllabi will be on the Cooperating Teacher link.
We have some secondary and middle school students taking
EDU 4280 (2) Discipline and Classroom Management Issue
for Middle Grade and Secondary Teachers. It is MW from 4-
6 pm and will end on Wednesday, March 2.
Students may also be enrolled in seminars that will meet
periodically. On Thursday, 4:30-7pm some special education
majors who are making the transition to the 5th year program
are meeting for a course. This is the only time it will happen.
Go to www.highpoint.edu and click on
Academics at top of page. Select School of
Education. On the left hand side go to
Cooperating Teacher Resources.
The handbook, assessment instruments,
calendar, seminars for cooperating teachers,
articles on coaching, etc. will be available.
Information in the Handbook includes copies of assessment instruments, the legal status of student teachers, roles and responsibilities for student teachers, cooperating teachers and University supervisors. The SOE Code of Ethical and Professional Behavior as well as that of the state of NC are included.
If you had a student intern in the Fall for Internship I, you have the handbook which includes Internship II (student teaching). If not, you should receive a paper copy for your use.
The program is aligned with the following standards:
North Carolina Teaching Standards
INTASC – Interstate New Teacher Assessment and Support Consortium
CAEP – Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (replaces NCATE) [National Review]
Our accreditation on campus visit is scheduled for March 20-23, 2016.
Be on time and prepared
Show enthusiasm
Take the initiative
Display a positive attitude
Participate as much as possible in school life
Submit lesson plans a week in advance for
your approval and for any changes.
Utilize the feedback from cooperating
teacher and University supervisor
Follow the NC and HPU Code of Ethics
Attendance: The student teacher is expected to be at the school on time every day and expected to have the same schedule as you. They are not to leave at the end of the official day. Absences may extend the period they are in the schools. They MUST call you first then the University supervisor and then alert my office. They follow your calendar and report to the school on workdays even if you are not there.
Substituting policy: They cannot substitute for anyone in
the school. They can only substitute (without pay) for you if the cooperating teacher, University supervisor and Principal agree.
School events: We encourage and expect our student teachers to attend faculty meetings, school events, PLC’s, committee meetings, parent conferences and carry out your duties where your principal deems it appropriate
Student interns must develop full lesson plans. Please let the supervisor and intern know if there is a specific lesson plan format for them to use. HPU provides samples. A supervisor may ask that there be more detail in a plan and recommend one.
Student teaching can be extended if absences go beyond a week or if the student is not at “met” on all criteria.
We encourage them not to have a job especially during the week.
Students are encouraged to come on workdays even if you are not there. This would give them time to explore the library, prepare materials and work on lesson plans.
Code of Ethics for North Carolina Educators and the School of Education Code of Ethical and
Professional Behaviors
We have discussed with our student teachers about
the use of Facebook and communications by email
and texting! They are not to text or use Facebook or
any other social media to communicate with students
and parents. They are not to post pictures. We will
ask them to video a lesson but the videos are for
intstructors and will be private. Emails need to be
approved by you if needed. They are not to use their
cell phones while on duty in the classroom.
Students need to know the testing protocols. For
example if you have them proctor tests then give them
strategies that will prevent them from giving your
students assistance.
Visits to your classroom [Five documented
visits unless the student needs more
support.]
Feedback to the student within 24 hours.
Student teacher also submits lesson plans to
the supervisor.
The role is as liaison between you and the
student and also to assist you as a coach in
helping the student teacher to become
successful.
Be prepared for the student intern’s arrival
Assist them in meeting colleagues and
understanding of school policies
Feedback on a regular, daily basis. Your role is
coaching…modeling lessons, having the student
intern observe how you handle different
situations, reviewing lesson plans but also to
have the critical conversations about what they
observe and what you observe when they teach.
Work with the University supervisor in helping
the student become successful. The supervisor is
the HPU liaison and will do the grading.
Cooperating teachers are asked to complete one Formal Observation form and P-12 checklist prior to midterm (not the same lesson the supervisor evaluates) and give feedback to the student. This should also occur once after midterm.
Use the McRel Narrative form during the observation and followed by the formal observation form and P-12 checklist
Help the student teacher to accept the praise and constructive criticism with equal appreciation.

Coaching Strategies 101
Beginning last year, we have asked student teachers and University supervisors to
evaluation the cooperating teacher. This year we asked the principals to complete
the same survey.
The clinical experience and the cooperating teacher’s role has become a national
priority for teacher preparation. Our accrediting agencies are looking more closely
at this piece of preparation.

The Tripod Project: Actionable Student Feedback Promoting
Excellence in Teaching and Learning
Student Teacher Report
CAEP Project
The 7 C’s: Care: Challenge: Control: Clarify: Captivate: Confer: and Consolidate
It is a paper survey. We need to know your commitment and class size today. If middle grades or high school select a class to give the survey to that the student teacher will be teaching.
The window is March 14 to April 22.
A sign up sheet is circulating. We have to send information to Tripod by January 22.
www.tripodproject.org
You will receive a letter and packet from the
Dean that will include the following:
1. Letter to you
2. Letter for your school principal
3. A sample survey
4. A parent permission form
When the we receive the surveys, our administrative
staff will deliver them to you. The window for the study
is March 14- April 29 but we will let you know the week.
You give the survey with our intern being absent from
the room.
The survey does not identify the school, teacher or
principal and is not reported to anyone but HPU.
Professional Growth/Development Plan
You have a copy. The student teacher is expected
to be working on the plan and their progress is
evaluated at midterm. Copy is in back of your
folder.
Midterm Evaluation Form
There is an Intervention section at the end of
the midterm evaluation. If the score is 52 or
below, you as cooperating teacher along with the
student intern and University supervisor will
develop an intervention plan.
•This graph shows how with practice, a student teacher
should progress in planning, delivering and assessing
instruction of the students.
The McRel Narrative Feedback form is provided as an
appropriate form for you as cooperating teacher to use It is
not required for you to use it but may give the student
structured feedback.
The focus today is on student learning and it is also a focus for pre-service teachers. The Internship Formal Observation form you and the supervisor uses includes a checklist of observations of the students our intern is teaching.
The Electronic Evidence #5 Assessing Student Learning Project includes our student teachers ability to demonstrate how formative and summative assessment data informs them as a teacher of instruction and monitoring and evaluating their students’ progress. A link to a syllabus for our data course will be on the cooperating teacher website in case you would want to see the expectations.
LEA/IHE Certification of Teaching Capacity This is the final evaluation for student teaching.
It is the same form as the midterm but without the points. The intern must be MET on every item in order to receive a P(ass) as well as the license [and degree].
As with the midterm evaluation, the student intern will be involved in the process. The cooperating teacher, University supervisor and the intern will come to consensus when appropriate on the ratings.
The Principal signs the form as a representative of the school system.
If the student intern is not at the level of MET, the intern will have to extend student teaching which may go beyond the graduation date.
Please familiarize your student intern with the safety rules and procedures for your classroom and school.
With the events in the last several years and especially in Connecticut, your intern may be a little concerned about what they should be doing.
Also acquaint them with the expectations of teachers at your school including dress, start time for teachers, lunches, parking, etc.
Tell them where to find the announcements regarding bad weather for your system.
We look forward to our partnership with you
this semester.
During the week of May 2 we will have our
Student Teacher and Senior Awards Reception
with a light buffet from 5-7pm. This is a time
to recognize our students and to honor your
participation in their success. We will inform
you of the date as soon as the graduation
event calendar is set.
