What kind of records/documentation regarding the student teacher/progress,etc. is required of the mentor teacher?
There are several evaluative structures in place during student teaching. The University Coordinator (UC) will be working with you both and come by to observe your student teacher teaching in the classroom a minimum of five times over the course of the semester. In terms of the documents required for evaluating your student teacher, we have two evaluation forms that are to be completed at midterm (March) and one at the end of the semester (May). The first form asks that you evaluate the student teacher’s knowledge, skills, and progression, while the other asks that you evaluate the student teacher’s dispositions. These forms are available on pp 20-23, 28-33 in the Mentor Teacher Handbook (electronic version may be downloaded below).
