Teacher education reform legislation in Mississippi was put into effect in 1985, concurrent with the planning year of this project which developed a prototype for automated evaluation of teachers' performance. This automated system of information management was designed in response to requests for demographic program information from governing agencies coupled with a concern for awareness of student progress in the program. A performance-based teacher certification system was instituted statewide which motivated numerous changes in the professional preparation program. A key component of the project was a process standard requiring training to a common teaching evaluation model for university and public school teachers involved with the student teaching experience. To govern progress in the program as well as stimulate retention of key information, a quality assurance program was structured around an automated approach for performance monitoring. This report discusses the rationale for developing the program, details its evolution, and provides a description of the program. Included in the report, in addition to the project portrayal, is a detailed program assessment report and a practice profile. (JD)
