College of Education

To our Single Subject Credential Master Teachers:

I am delighted that you will be working with a student teacher in our Single Subject Credential Program. The student teaching experience, including the guidance and mentorship of our master teachers, is a critical component of our credential program. In addition to university classes and other fieldwork in schools, our students demonstrate their knowledge, abilities, skills, and dispositions for teaching through this challenging capstone experience.

Included in this handbook is Cal Poly’s Philosophy of Teacher Education, which grounds the work of our program. This philosophy articulates our beliefs, values, and goals, beginning with the belief that all students can learn. The remaining statements support this essential belief, for example, using student-centered practices that meet the needs of a diverse population. Please be assured that the student teacher with whom you work values the elements of our philosophy and will display his/her understanding through meaningful practice.

On behalf of the Single Subject Credential Program, thank you for accepting our student teacher in your classroom. Your work in modeling exemplary teaching, providing guidance and support, and evaluating the student’s performance according to rigorous standards is critical to our mission. Our credential program relies on highly qualified teachers, such as you, to help prepare the next generation of educators for California’s schools. We very much appreciate your work with Cal Poly.

Sincerely,

Cal Poly Philosophy of Teacher Education

Over the past few years, instructors and administrators in the University Center for Teacher Education as well as our single subject coordinators have had the opportunity to scrutinize our philosophy and goals in teaching theory and practices in education while writing the Cal Poly proposal for meeting the standards set forth in SB 2042. What has resulted is a cohesive, comprehensive approach to teaching today’s public school students. It is these ideals we strive to impart to the single subject credential candidates in our programs.

▪ We believe that all students can learn given the right circumstances and an appropriate amount of time.

▪ Our lessons use scaffolding techniques to access prior knowledge and to build background knowledge if it does not already exist in order to engage students in the learning.

▪ Our classroom practices are student-centered and geared toward meeting the needs of a diverse population.

▪ When we create curriculum, we look at the big picture—what are the enduring understandings we want students to have after this unit is completed?

▪ We believe in using the State standards as a way to organize and monitor both our students’ and our progress and reflect daily on our success and/or failure to accomplish our objectives.

▪ We understand the importance of assessment on a regular basis and believe in using both teacher mandated and student choice involving multiple approaches to give all students the opportunities they need to demonstrate to us that they have learned important concepts successfully.

▪ We believe in appropriate and timely feedback on student performance.

▪ Our lessons and assignments make maximum use of the technology available at each school site.

Cal Poly student teachers have been prepared with these goals in mind. Our supervisors are ready to assist in any way possible to make student teaching a satisfying and professionally edifying experience for all involved.

Information Student Teachers Need

You should have received a contact phone number for your prospective student teacher when you were notified of the placement by UCTE. If you did not, please call the office at 756-2126. You are invited to make the initial contact with the student teacher and to invite him/her to observe in your classroom or to meet with you prior to his/her start date.

Sometimes we take for granted information which has been part of our professional lives from day one. Student teachers often do not even know what they need to know. These are some of the procedures or pieces of information, which will make it easier for our students to become acclimated:

▪ Introduce him/her to your office personnel—secretaries, attendance clerks, aides, counselors, and, of course, the principal and any assistant administrators with whom s/he may be working.

▪ Inform him/her if your school has particular parking mandates.

▪ Provide him/her with:

o His/her own classroom and restroom keys;

o A school calendar which has special school days and schedules on it, i.e., assemblies, late start days, testing schedules, holidays;

o A current bell schedule for all school schedules;

o A copy of school policies (such as discipline, dress code, and homework);

o A copy of classroom seating charts.

▪ Give him/her an idea of the units for which s/he will be responsible and approximate starting and ending dates.

▪ Familiarize him/her with your grading policy (including extra credit, if any) and provide him/her with an orientation to your computerized grading program.

▪ Be prepared to answer other questions frequently asked by student teachers:

o How likely is it that my students will complete homework assignments, and how much homework is appropriate?

o Are parents generally supportive when you make home contacts?

o Will I be responsible for any specialized bulletin boards?

o Do your classes have access to computer labs, and what is the procedure for reserving them?

o What kind of classroom supplies may I expect to be able to use?

o What are your classroom procedures? Attendance? Tardies? Distribution of graded papers? Disaster drills? Posting of grades or grade distribution? Portfolios?

o What is the make-up of my class? ELD or special education students? Students who have special testing needs? Numbers of students who have performed at basic and proficient levels on standardized tests?

o What special testing preparation will I be doing?

o Where and how do I buy lunch on campus, and where do teachers eat?

o Am I responsible for picking up the mail, and where do I get it?

o Where is the copy machine, and are there any procedural issues I should know about (i.e. password)?

o When may I attend a school board meeting?

o How may I help with extracurricular activities in the school (i.e. chaperoning a dance, handing out programs at a play or concert, judging an FFA or speech event, timing at a track or swim meet)?

Student Teacher Requirements—Cal Poly Expectations

We expect student teachers to perform professionally and to utilize best practices in teaching on a daily basis. In order to facilitate such performance, we have specific expectations to make monitoring and assessing their progress easier for the student teachers as well as for both master teachers and university supervisors.

▪ Your student teacher should provide you with a unit plan one week in advance of the unit start date. This unit should include:

o An overview of what s/he wants to accomplish;

o A calendar with a brief description in each day’s box of what will occur that day;

o Daily lesson plans, including any handouts for students, quizzes, lists of support materials;

o Assessment descriptions—prompts for essays, guidelines for projects—some student choice included;

o Appropriate rubrics for grading assessments.

▪ A unit plan overview and lesson plan template have been included for your information and modification, if necessary for your students.

▪ Individual lesson plans for a week should be approved the previous Friday. It is especially important to note if the time allotment is appropriate.

▪ We require students to write the standard/s and objective/s for the day on the board/overhead and to call them to the attention of students at the beginning of the lesson.

▪ End of class procedures:

o Students teachers should end the class a couple of minutes before the bell rings to go back over the objective/s so students may identify learning and to monitor progress in case reteaching needs to occur. “Did we accomplish what we set out to do today?

o Focus on the homework;

o No packing up until instructed to do so;

o The teacher dismisses the class, not the bell.

These last two bullets are suggestions rather than requirements, but we find that classroom control, which may be an issue for some student teachers, is easier when they take control for the whole period and monitor the last few minutes for understanding, keeping students’ focus until they are sure all instructions have been internalized.

▪ Student teachers should be thorough and accurate in the grading of papers. They should return papers in a timely manner. Initially, please review the grading of several papers in each set to be returned. When student teachers grade their first set of essays, it may be helpful if you grade them together. Our problem with student teacher grading tends to be over-marking and the inordinate amount of time they spend on each paper. They will get faster with practice, but it helps to have someone model grading practices so they have a standard for which to aim.

Six-unit Student Teacher Procedures and Expectations

Over the years, we have found that master teachers have proven a number of models to work successfully in the orientation of student teachers to the classroom and teaching. Our students come to us with such a variety of backgrounds and experiences, we will merely offer some suggestions for procedures which have worked well in the past. It is up to each master teacher and his/her student teacher to discuss orientation opportunities and teaching readiness.

▪ Six-unit student teachers are required to be on campus for three periods: two which they will eventually teach and one prep, ideally the same as the master teacher’s.

▪ Six-unit student teaching is a ten-week assignment, but students may choose to stay longer if it is helpful to the students and master teacher with regard to grading. They may only be absent three days and should notify you by phone in a timely manner if they are going to be out.

▪ Your student teacher’s university supervisor will stop by early in the quarter to introduce him-/herself and then will be back for at least three formal observations, usually during the fourth, seventh, and tenth weeks of the quarter. The student teacher should have a copy of the day’s lesson plan and any handouts or books used in the lesson available for the supervisor at each of his/her visits. The supervisor will try to plan the visits for a time when it is convenient to meet with the both you and the student teacher after the observation to go over any questions and to provide feedback on the lesson.

▪ During the first week, please go over this handbook with your student teacher and answer the questions we have noted and any others the students may have about this particular teaching experience.

▪ Remember, ostensibly, this is the first teaching practice experience of your student teacher. It is most common for him/her to observe you for the first two weeks. This time is flexible, depending upon where your class is in the progression of the unit you are teaching when the student teacher begins our quarter. This is a time when student teachers may learn student names, observe your style of teaching, and make a note of classroom routines in practice.

▪ You may arrange for your student teacher to observe other teachers in your department or even in other departments.

▪ You may team teach with your student teacher or have him/her take over some small groups prior to taking over the whole class. Some master teachers model the lesson in the first period, and the student teacher teaches the same lesson in the second period. By the halfway point in the quarter, student teachers should be fully responsible for the planning, implementing and grading of their two periods’ lessons.

▪ Be sure to make clear to your student teacher what responsibilities s/he has for grading and any significant due dates such as schoolwide progress reports.

▪ We understand that your district and/or department has required curriculum which must be addressed each year, but within the scope of those requirements, please provide as much “freedom” for creative and original planning by the student teacher as possible.

10

▪ Please observe your student teacher in a more formal fashion a couple of times every week. Make written comments which the student teacher may keep in a student teaching notebook. Observations may include comments on practice of routines, the actual lesson content and procedures for implementation, classroom control, use of instructional strategies, and assessment methods. If you could also note some

▪ strengths and areas on which to focus, that would be most helpful for the student teacher. The university supervisor may use these critiques to assist the student teacher during the student teaching practicum meetings. Be sure to inform the university supervisor if the student teacher encounters any serious problems as soon as they arise.

▪ You will complete a mid-quarter formative assessment during the fifth or sixth week of the quarter. A sample evaluation is included in this handbook. The Teacher Performance Expectations (TPE) are the standards set out for student teachers in SB2042. They are the boldface TPE’s at the top of each evaluative section. Beneath each TPE is a list of descriptors which identify some of the qualities you might look for in making your evaluation determination. You will place a checkmark in the first column of the evaluation during the mid-quarter. This is holistic scoring. You are invited to reference specific descriptors by number and comments at the bottom of the page, but you are only marking your sense of the entire TPE in the check-off column. Please date your comments. The back of the page is available for use as well. (This same set of pages will go on to the twelve-unit master teacher, thus the ample space for writing. You will also have two opportunities to comment; do not feel as if you need to fill the space.)

▪ Your student teacher will also fill out an evaluation on him-/herself. We want our students actively involved in reflection throughout their student teaching experience.

▪ This is a good time set some goals for the remainder of the quarter.

▪ After you have completed your mid-quarter evaluation, your student teacher’s supervisor will meet with both you and your student teacher to discuss your comments and suggestions. If you have serious concerns at mid-quarter, it may be that the supervisor will write a formal letter of concern to the student teacher with copies to appropriate university personnel, outlining expectations for improvement over the next few weeks of the placement.

▪ The end-of-quarter evaluation for a six-unit student teacher is also a formative evaluation. You will repeat the same procedure as for the first evaluation, however, marking your checks in the second column on the form. Again, your student teacher’s university supervisor will meet with you and your student teacher to discuss your markings and suggestions you may have for his/her twelve-unit master teacher.

▪ The six-unit student teachers take their formative evaluations to their twelve-unit master teachers who continue the process you have begun. If you would like to keep a copy, feel free to make one for yourself.

11

Twelve-unit Student Teacher Procedures and Expectations

Twelve-unit student teachers have had a variety of experiences in their part-time assignments. Please discuss these experiences with your student teacher in order to decide appropriate orientation opportunities and teaching readiness.

▪ Twelve-unit student teachers are required to be on campus for the entire day, five days a week. They will be responsible for the entire teaching experience after a brief period of observation. This includes staff meetings and any faculty responsibilities after school hours such as parent-teacher conferences and SST meetings.

▪ Twelve-unit student teaching is an eleven-week assignment, but students may choose to stay longer if it is helpful to the students and master teacher with regard to grading. Students may only be absent three days and should inform you by phone in a timely manner if they are going to be absent.

▪ Your student teacher’s university supervisor will stop by early in the quarter to introduce him-/herself and then will be back for at least three formal observations, usually during the fourth, seventh, and tenth weeks of the quarter. The student teacher should have a copy of the day’s lesson plan and any handouts or books used in the lesson available for the supervisor at each of his/her visits.

▪ During the first week, please go over this handbook with your student teacher and answer the questions we have noted and any others the student may have about this particular teaching experience.

▪ It is most common for him/her to observe you for the first week or so. This time is flexible, depending upon where your class is in the progression of the unit you are teaching when the student teacher begins our quarter. This is a time when student teachers may learn student names, observe your style of teaching, and make a note of classroom routines in practice.

▪ You may arrange for your student teacher to observe other teachers in your department or even in other departments.

▪ You may team teach with your student teacher or have him/her take over some small groups prior to taking over the whole class. Some master teachers model the lesson in the first period, and the student teacher teaches the same lesson in subsequent periods. As quickly as possible, student teachers should be fully responsible for the planning, implementing and grading of all periods.

▪ Be sure to make clear to your student teacher any significant grading due dates such as schoolwide progress reports.

▪ We understand that your district and/or department has required curriculum which must be addressed each year, but within the scope of those requirements, please provide as much “freedom” for creative and original planning by the student teacher as possible.

▪ Please observe your student teacher in a more formal fashion a couple of times every week. Make written comments which the student teacher may keep in a student teaching notebook. Observations may include comments on practice of routines, the actual lesson content and procedures for implementation, classroom control, use of instructional strategies, and assessment methods.

Beneath each TPE is a list of descriptors, which identify some of the qualities you might look for in making your evaluation determination. You will receive the evaluation, which has already been marked twice in the formative process by the part-time master teacher. You will place a checkmark in the third column of the evaluation during the mid-quarter. This is holistic scoring. You are invited to reference specific descriptors by number and comments at the bottom of the page, but you are only marking your sense of the entire TPE in the check-off column. Please date your comments. The back of the page is available for use as well.

▪ The end-of-quarter evaluation for a twelve-unit student teacher is a final evaluation. You will repeat the same procedure as for the first evaluation, however, marking your checks in the fourth column on the form. Again, your student teacher’s university will meet with you and your student teacher to discuss your markings and suggestions.

▪ Twelve-unit student teachers’ evaluations will be turned in to the UCTE as evidence of their having met the TPE’s for the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing. At this time we believe those evaluations will also go with them to their first teaching jobs to be used by their BTSA mentors during their two-year induction program. If you would like to keep a copy, feel free to make one for yourself.

▪ You will fill out one last short form called a Summative Evaluation on which you give a more specific ranking of your student teacher’s abilities in each of the TPE areas by circling the appropriate number. Please see the copy of the form in this handbook.

General Information

▪ Student teachers may substitute for a master teacher up to ten days a quarter if they have a 30-day emergency credential and have applied to the district to do so.

▪ The law requires that a certificated teacher be in the classroom at all times. Unless your student teacher has an emergency credential, s/he is not certificated. If you leave him/her alone with students in the classroom, you are still liable for their safety. If you do leave the room, please tell your student teacher where you are going and when you plan to return. Make sure s/he has a way to reach you while you are gone.
