Dispositions

Attendance and Participation – Regular attendance at internships is required. It is inappropriate to bring children or to leave them unattended around the building while you are attending class.  Attendance and punctuality are required attributes for teachers.

Handouts will be available in the classroom file folder with your name and assignments are always posted on Blackboard.

Preparation for Class & Attitude for Contributing to Collegial Environment –  Regular reading assignments will be given as homework. Many of the classroom activities, discussion board interactions, and journal responses will be built upon the knowledge gained through the readings.  Some assignments will be given and completed within a classroom time period. You will be responsible for bringing necessary materials when indicated so you are prepared to participate in these exercises.  Class discussions and group work should encourage listening and sharing ideas from all participants. With cooperative group activities you will be expected to contribute to the group goals.

Work Completed and Turned in on Time – Assignments will be completed and turned in on the day they are due. All due dates have been listed so you will be able to plan your semester accordingly. Late assignments will have points deducted.

Grading is based on the teaching experience, internship attendance, class contributions, and the completion of course assignments as indicated above. All internships are letter graded. In order to be Internship 1 (CI 743) 5 Fall, 2008 recommended for full licensure, a grade of “C” or better in the internships must be maintained, along with a recommendation to continue in employment, and a passing score on the PLT and appropriate Praxis II content tests. The grading policy is as follows:

o A = Interns whose teaching exceeds expectations. Such performance indicates successful teaching without close supervision by the principal, the mentor, or the university supervisor. Quality attendance at the seminars is evident (no missed classes) with completion of course assignments at 90-100% of total points . o B = Interns whose teaching meets expectations. Such performance indicates successful teaching with typical supervision by the principal, the mentor, or the university supervisor. Interns at this level are competent instructors under the supervision process for beginning teachers. Quality attendance at the seminars is evident (no missed classes) with completion of course assignments at 80-89% of total points. o C= Interns whose teaching performance is considered average, neither significantly weak nor exceptionally strong, but having satisfied all criteria for a recommendation for certification. This does not imply that the student will become an “average teacher.” For a variety of reasons, an intern who receives a grade of “C” may take longer to mature as a professional. Additional supervision will be provided during their probationary years. Regular attendance at the seminars is evident (few missed classes) with completion of course assignments at 70-79% of total points. o D or F = “Unsatisfactory Performance” The level of teaching as deemed by the principal and the university coordinator is below expectations for a novice teacher. Teacher is not recommended for continued employment. Assignments and/or attendance are unsatisfactory with completion of course work at 69% or below of total points.

The university no longer mails grades at the end of the semester. To obtain your grades you must go to Shocker One Stop http://mywsu.wichita.edu/cp/home/loginf .

Licensure Assessments: Both the state of Kansas and national accreditation requires that university programs for the preparation of teachers and other school personnel be performance-based. In particular, this requires that students not only pass required courses/attain certain GPAs, but also receive satisfactory ratings on certain required assessments, many of those embedded within program coursework.

Candidates failing to attain a satisfactory rating on a required assessment may be provided special assistance. The university is not able, however, to recommend candidates to move from restricted licensure who fail to attain a satisfactory rating on required assessments, even though they may receive an acceptable course grade or exceed minimum GPAs.

Academic Honesty: A standard of honesty, fairly applied to all students, is essential to a learning environment. Students abridging a standard of honesty must accept the consequences; penalties are assessed by appropriate classroom instructors or other designated people. Serious cases may result in discipline at the College or University level and may result in suspension or dismissal. Dismissal from a college for academic dishonesty, constitutes dismissal from the University. (WSU Student Code of Conduct)
