Assessing a Teacher Candidate's Preparedness from the College Supervisor and Cooperating Teacher during Student Teaching
Seay, Darolyn; Westerlin, Sara
Educational Research: Theory and Practice, v34 n2 p11-15 2023
This study specifically examined the candidates' dispositions as assessed by both their college supervisor and cooperating teacher during their student teaching semester. If the teacher education candidate is to reflect, change, and grow then the feedback they receive needs to be consistent. The results of this study provided a clear picture of whether there is a difference in the assessment of the teacher education candidate. By comparing the assessment of both college supervisors and cooperating teachers, we can determine if their expectations are consistent and thereby providing meaningful feedback to the teacher education candidates. This information is critical in moving forward in making decisions about the effectiveness of the institution and the teacher education program, including adding more opportunities that allow for growth in developing effective teacher education candidates.
