Intern
Intern student teachers will participate in four-semester supervised fieldwork, under the supervision of the University Supervisor and the Support Provider.
Student Teaching Requirements
- Semester one, two and three (EED 550B 1, 2, and 3). Intern student teachers will be supervised by both the University Supervisor and the Support Provider during their first three-semesters of supervised fieldwork in their own classrooms. The area of emphasis for the first semester supervised fieldwork includes reading and classroom management; the second semester includes language arts, ESL, and mathematics; and the third semester includes history social sciences and mathematics or language arts for the second observation.
- Semester four (EED 551C). Intern student teachers will be supervised by both the University Supervisor and the Support Provider during their fourth semester of supervised fieldwork in their own classrooms. The area of emphasis for the fourth semester supervised fieldwork includes science, and language arts and/or mathematics or reading for the second observation.
Preparatory Coursework
Intern student teachers complete their supervised fieldwork experiences concurrently with the requisite coursework in the multiple subjects credential program.
Observation Requirements
- Semesters one, two, and three (EED 550B 1, 2, and 3). Intern student teachers will be formally observed a minimum of 2 times by both the University Supervisor and the Support Provider.
- Semester four (EED 551C). Intern student teachers will be formally observed a minimum of 3 times by both the University Supervisor and the Support Provider.
The observers will complete an Observation Form (NCR) for each of the specified formal observations, and discuss it with the Intern student teacher before distributing the copies as noted on the form. Informal observations should be conducted throughout both semesters as appropriate.
Expected Competencies
- By the end of the first three-semesters, Intern student teachers are expected to demonstrate competencies required of a beginning teacher as reflected in the six domains of the California Standards for the Teaching Profession (CSTP) and 13 Teaching Performance Expectations (TPEs). The Intern student teachers are expected to assume full responsibility for all matters related to teaching during all four semesters of supervised fieldwork.
- By the end of the fourth semester, Intern student teachers are expected to demonstrate the competencies required of a beginning teacher as reflected in the 6 domains of the California Standards for the Teaching Profession (CSTP) and the 13 Teaching Performance Expectations (TPEs). The Intern student teachers are expected to assume full responsibility for all matters related to teaching during all four semesters of supervised fieldwork.
Evaluations
Formal evaluation of Intern student teachers will be conducted twice during each of the four semesters of student teaching--midterm and final—by both the University Supervisor and the Support Provider, using the department’s ONLINE Classroom Teaching Profile (CTP). Please consult the CTP forms for detailed explanations of minimum passing score requirements for the midterm and the final evaluation of student teaching.
- Passwords and links for ONLINE evaluations are sent out to University Supervisors and Support Providers by email twice each semester—two weeks before midterm and final evaluation due dates. For further information about passwords, please contact Downie Hiek, the Teacher Education Assistant, at 818 677-3183.
Other Expectations
During the four semesters of student teaching, Interns are to gain experiences in working with diverse learners, English learners, children with special needs, and emergent and developing readers and writers. Intern student teachers are also expected to observe and/or participate in assessment of students with disabilities, writing of IEPs, IEP meetings, SST meetings, and other responsibilities of the multiple subject educator during their student teaching experience.
