Rule or Statutory Requirement Institutional Evidence

PI 34.15 (5)

The conceptual framework contains a clinical program including practica for pupil services and administrative programs and for prestudent teaching, student teaching and other supervised clinical experience in prekindergartren through grade 12 school settings.

Pre-student Teaching

Program requires onsite supervised clinical experiences that occur prior to student teaching, are developmental in scope and sequence and occur in a variety of school settings.

The prestudent teaching experiences result in candidates demonstrating knowledge and understanding of the 10 Teacher Standards through assessments of:

  • communication skills,
  • human relations and professional dispositions,
  • content knowledge,
  • pedagogical knowledge,
  • teaching practice

Successful performance is measured using both of the following:

1. At least 2 written evaluations of each candidate based upon observations by the cooperating teacher and the SCD supervisor.

2. The candidate’s portfolio.

Student teaching

The program requires experiences that are developmental in scope and sequence, occur in school settings and meet Wisconsin’s statutory requirements.

The student teaching experience is for full days for a full semester following the daily schedule and semester calendar of the cooperating school, or equivalent as determined by the state superintendent.
Student teaching experiences provide candidates opportunities to interact with an adapt instruction for pupils with disabilities or other exceptionalities.
As a result of the student teaching experience, candidates demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the 10 Teacher Standards through the assessments.

Successful performance of student teaching is measured using all the following:

1. A minimum of 4 classroom supervisory visits of at least one hour in length made to each candidate teacher by the SCD supervisor, Supervisors with teaching experience and expertise in the specialty subject area and at the grade level of pupils being taught by the student teacher must participate in the classroom supervision.

Student teaching

2. At least 4 written evaluations of each candidate based upon classroom observations by the cooperating teacher or by the SCD supervisor. At least one of the evaluations is written by the cooperating teacher. Evaluation procedures

  • Conferences involving the student teacher, the cooperating teachers and the SCD supervisors
  • The cooperating teacher’s evaluation of the student teacher/intern becomes part of the candidate’s portfolio
  • Other evaluations by PK-12 professional school personnel that attest to the competency of the candidate as a prospective teacher may also be included in the portfolio.
  • The student teacher determines the evaluations that may be available to prospective employers.
A review of the required student portfolio.

Practicum

Programs for pupil services and administrative licenses include supervised practica in the area of licensure that are developmental in scope and sequence.

The IHE can demonstrate that as a result of the practicum experience, a license candidate possesses knowledge and understanding of the Wisconsin Administrative or Pupil Services standards.

Practicum

Successful performance of the practicum is measured by all of the following:

1. At least 2 written evaluations by the school-based supervision based upon observations;

2. At least 2 written evaluations by the SCD supervisor during each student’s practicum;
3. 2 conferences involving the school-based supervisor, the SCD supervisor and the practicum student;
4. The school-based supervisor’s evaluation of the practicum is part of the student’s portfolio.

Graduate Internship Program.

1. Advanced programs include a graduate internship in the area of licensure that is developmental in scope and sequence.

 
2. As a result of the intern experience, a license candidate demonstrates knowledge and understanding of the Wisconsin Teacher/Administrator/Pupil Services Standards, as appropriate.  
3. Supervision and primary responsibility for the student rests directly with the licensed local school district supervisor and indirectly with the college or university supervisor.  

PI 34.15 (6) Cooperating Personnel:

In relation to the clinical program, the conceptual framework describes the institution’s requirements for cooperating teachers and school-based supervisors, demonstrating that those teachers, pupil services professionals and administrators who work with the institution’s students meet all of the following requirements:

a. Hold a Wisconsin license and have volunteered for assignment as a cooperating teacher, practicum or internship supervisor.

b. Have at least 3 years of teaching/pupil services/administration experience with at least one year of experience in the school or school system of current employment.
c. Have completed training in both the supervision of clinical students and in the applicable Wisconsin Standards for their professional educator group.
