1. Ho‘oulu: Growing As a Professional (Professional Dispositions Assessment)
The Professional Dispositions Assessment is a tool we will use to reflect and engage in relevant discussion about the candidate’s about dispositions, and help candidates work to maintain and/or develop appropriate dispositions. You will complete a midterm and final Professional Dispositions Assessment to evaluate your teacher candidate’s:
- Kuleana: right, privilege, concern, responsibility
- Pilina: relationship, connection
- Alu Like: striving together, to cooperate
- Ha‘awina Noʻonoʻo: thought, reflection
- Aloha ʻĀina: love of the land and its people.
This evaluation tool is used at the middle and end of Terms 1, 2 and 3.
2. Student Teaching Assessment
The purpose of this assessment is to demonstrate competence as a teacher candidate in the four domains of the Charlotte Danielson Framework for Teaching (CDF): (1) Planning and Preparation, (2) the Classroom Environment, (3) Instruction, and (4) Professional Responsibilities. This assessment is completed during student teaching and is cumulative across the entire semester of work. This assessment is administered at midterm (after the 3rd observation) and again at the end of the semester (after the 5th observation). The UC will go over the Student Teaching Assessment form with you at the beginning of the spring semester. This evaluation tool is used at the middle and end of Term 3.
