Weekly Reports
**If you decide to use your own Weekly Report Form/s, please contact Rebecca Bodenheimer rbodenhe@unca.edu so the data can be captured and stored for CAEP accreditation.
There are 2 Weekly Reports, one from the Student Teacher and one from the Mentor Teacher. As the University Supervisor, you can use the department made forms or create your own form/s. The button below will take you to the page with the links to the department weekly reports as well as your folder to check your weekly report data. Make sure they are choosing the correct University Supervisor so the data goes to the correct location.
EDUC 455/456 Meeting Schedule
Get the EDUC 456 Meeting Schedule from the EDUC 456 instructors. There are some days during the clinical practice internship semester that the Student Teacher will be expected to spend a full day at UNCA for the EDUC 456 class.
As the EDUC 455 Instructor, you will set your course meeting schedule. EDUC 455 typically meets between 6-8 times during the semester and occurs after school hours.
Weekly Lesson Plans
Student Teachers will create lesson plans weekly for any teaching segments for which they are responsible. The Student Teacher will need to share the weekly lesson plans with their University Supervisor and Mentor Teacher. Please work together as a clinical practice team to set up expectations and criteria: format, how and when to turn them in, and other expectations. Lesson plan requirements are flexible to allow for PLC and other type of planning. Student Teacher lesson plans may require more detail than what might be typical for the Mentor Teacher. Refer to the Planning and Management section of the Clinical Practice Handbook for more information.
4 Observations
As the supervisor, you will complete 4 observations of your Student Teacher in the field. You will turn in notes for all 4 observations to the licensure specialist during the exit process. In addition, 2 of the 4 observations will be used to complete the midterm and final evaluations. During observation 2, you will complete the midterm CPAST and Certification of Teaching Capacity. During either observation 3 or 4, you will complete the CPAST and Certification of Teaching Capacity for the Final. So far there has not been a specific format required for your raw notes of the 4 observations.
