EDU62480 - Clinical Practice III: Assessment

(1.5 units)

This course provides practical experience with the implementation and analysis of formative assessments and summative evaluations to monitor and adjust student learning. You will learn how to establish measurable objectives, create assessments, and develop learning tasks and materials based on pre-assessment strategies, knowledge of students, and effective application of backwards design principles. How to provide timely feedback to students based on their performance in meeting or not meeting the measurable objectives will be examined. Through a whole class analysis of summative evaluation, you will identify trends to offer appropriate supports and modified instruction to meet the needs of your students. Candidates on the Intern Teacher Track must have a valid Intern Credential and are operating as a contracted Teacher-of-Record (TOR). Intern & ECO candidates must be assigned a credentialed District Support Provider (in their field of study) by their employer. The Clinical Practice experience contributes to candidates’ preparation to complete the Teaching Performance Assessment (TPA) required for credential completion. Education Specialist will be required to complete the TPA with the new implementation of the Mild/Moderate Ed Specialist Standards in 2022/2023.

Clinical Practice field experience hours must be earned, logged, and obtained during the current term of enrollment of the Clinical Practice course.

Intern and ECO candidates must be assigned a District Support Provider with a valid, clear credential (in the same subject or disability area in which the candidate is seeking) as well as a minimum of 3 years of teaching experience.
