Course Description
Face-to-Face Seminar Meetings: This course meets eight (8) times (8 total hours face-toface) throughout the semester. During these meetings, interns debrief their clinical
experience and make connections between coursework and classroom practice. Students
continue to use the TAP Instructional Rubric and the college Professionalism Rubric
introduced in Clinical Experience I.
Internship: This course requires 1 full day per week of internship in a 6 th-12th grade classroom
setting for a minimum of 12 weeks AND a minimum of 75 hours. Interns are expected to
follow their Intern Mentor Teachers contract hours. The internship component provides
opportunities for interns to engage as a teacher and learner. In these settings, interns
observe and interact with students one-to-one, in small groups, and as a whole class.
Clinical experience emphasizes focused observation, co-planning with a placement teacher,
and co-teaching. The clinical placement provides a setting for applied projects required by
concurrent education coursework in Block 2 (Term 6) of the Professional Teacher Preparation
Program.

Instructional Activities (60 points; 6 @10 points each)
Interns in Block 2 (Term 6) are required to plan and implement six (6) instructional
activities (lessons) over the course of the semester. Acceptable instructional activities
include:
Individualized instructional support
Tutoring a small group of students
Teaching a lesson to the whole class.
The IMT may plan the instructional activities alone or in partnership with the intern. If the
instructional activity is a required assignment for another ASU course, the IMT
must approve the plan one week prior to implementation. Interns must document
dates of completed instructional activities on their time cards to receive credit for this
assignment.
Signature Assignment #1: Lesson Evaluation (15 points; 5 points for each rubric
indicator)
This assignment will be conducted in class and is designed to assess the interns
knowledge and understanding of three indicators of the TAP rubric. Interns will be given a
sample lesson plan and watch a video of lesson execution. Interns will independently
evaluate the lesson plan and video using the following TAP rubrics: Instructional Plans,
9

12/22/14

Presenting Instructional Content, and Managing Student Behavior. Interns will provide a
rubric score and evidence to support their score. Clinical Experience Instructors will use
the rubric below to evaluate the interns scores and evidence. Interns must earn a score
of proficient (3) or higher on all the sections of the signature assignment in order to pass
the clinical experience course.
Signature Assignment #2a: TAP Assessment (80 points; 20 points for each score of 2)
The Intern Mentor Teacher evaluates intern instructional abilities in the clinical placement
setting. Feedback given at the midterm evaluation is formative and designed to provide
performance feedback to interns. The final evaluation counts as a signature assignment
for this course and is summative. Interns must earn a score or approaching proficient
(2) or higher on each indicator of this signature assignment by the end of the semester in
order to pass the clinical experience course. A score of approaching proficient (2) is
considered developmentally appropriate during this second semester in the teacher
preparation program. This skill will continue to be assessed throughout the teacher
preparation program. Students receiving 1s and/or N/As on the mid-term should
immediately meet with the course Instructor and Intern Mentor Teacher to discuss
ways in which to improve.
Signature Assignment #2b: Professionalism Assessment ( 120 points rubric below)
The Intern Mentor Teacher evaluates intern professionalism in the clinical placement
setting. Feedback given at the midterm evaluation is formative and designed to provide
performance feedback to interns. Students receiving 1s and/or N/As on the mid-term
should immediately meet with the course Instructor and Intern Mentor Teacher to
discuss ways in which to improve. The final evaluation counts as a signature
assignment for this course and is summative. Interns must earn a score of emerging or
higher on each indicator of this signature assignment by the end of the semester in
order to pass the clinical experience course. A score of emerging is considered
developmentally appropriate during this first semester in the teacher preparation program.
This skill will continue to be assessed throughout the teacher preparation program.
On the Write Track (0 points)
In Quest2Teach: On The Write Track!, pre-service teachers enter a 3D world where they
engage in the Writers Workshop, learning how to mentor their virtual students, individually
and in peer conferences, on work that is both written and in new media forms (blogs,
videos). Teachers learn how to guide their students in using the 6 Traits to improve their
persuasive argumentation. Mentoring doesnt focus just on ability, but also on building
students confidence and inspiring their commitment to literacy as a disposition.
Intern Timecard (60 points; 12 @ 5 points each)
The intern is responsible for tracking his/her hours on the intern timecard (available at
http://education.asu.edu/content/student-resources) and having the IMT initial the
timecard at the end of each internship day. Interns will provide a copy of this timecard to
the Clinical Experience Instructor at the last class meeting. The timecard will be used to
enter the interns attendance and number of Instructional Activities completed on the Tk20
evaluations.

PROGRESSION OF TEACHING RESPONSIBILITIES


Teachers College has adopted a co-teaching model for its student teaching experiences. Interns are
required to be actively engaged in all elements of the classroom beginning the first week in the
placement. Interns should assume teaching responsibilities as outlined in the chart below.
Note to Intern Mentor Teacher: This table is meant to be a guide for gradually increasing the role and
responsibility of Interns. Please adjust to meet the needs of your classroom and/or student
assignment due dates.

CO-TEACHING STRATEGY DEFINITIONS & EXAMPLES


Strategy
One Teach,
One
Observe

Definition/Example
One teacher has primary responsibility while the other gathers specific observational
information on students or the lead teacher. The key to this strategy is to focus the
observation where the teacher doing the observation is observing specific
behaviors.
Example: One teacher can observe students for their understanding of directions
while the other leads.

11

12/22/14

One Teach,
One Assist

Station
Teaching

Parallel
Teaching

Alternative
Teaching

Team
Teaching

An extension of One Teach, One Observe. One teacher has primary instructional
responsibility while the other circulates to check for understanding, assists students
with their work, or monitors behaviors.
Example: While one teacher has the instructional lead, the person assisting can be
the voice for the students when they dont understand or are having difficulties.
The co-teaching pair divides the instructional content into parts. Each teacher
instructs one of the groups, groups then rotate or spend a designated amount of
time at each station often an independent station will be used along with the
teacher led stations.
Example: One teacher might lead a station where the students play a money math
game and the other teacher could have a mock store where the students purchase
items and make change.
Each teacher instructs half the students. The two teachers are addressing the same
instructional material and presenting the material using the same teaching strategy.
The greatest benefit to this approach is the reduced student to teacher ratio.
Example: Both teachers are leading a question and answer discussion on specific
current events and the impact they have on our economy.
This strategy allows one teacher to work with students at their expected grade level
while the other teacher works with those students who need the information and/or
materials retaught, extended, or remediated.
Example: One teacher may work with students who need re-teaching of a concept
while the other teacher works with the rest of the students on enrichment.
Well -planned, team- taught lessons exhibit an invisible flow of instruction with no
prescribed division of authority. Using a team teaching strategy, both teachers are
actively involved in the lesson. From a students perspective, there is no clearly
defined leader as both teachers share the instruction, are free to interject
information, and are available to assist students and answer questions.
Example: Both instructors can share the reading of a story or text so that the
students are hearing two voices.

The strategies are not hierarchical they can be used in any order and/or in any combination
to best meet the needs of the P-12 students in the classroom. (with adaptations from)

Course/Instructor Evaluation
The course/instructor evaluation for this course will be conducted online 7-10 days before the
last official day of classes of each semester or summer session. Response(s) to the
course/instructor are anonymous and will not be returned to your instructor until after grades
have been submitted. The use of a course/instructor evaluation is an important process that
allows our college to (1) help faculty improve their instruction, (2) help administrators evaluate
instructional quality, (3) ensure high standards of teaching, and (4) ultimately improve
instruction and student learning over time. Completion of the evaluation is not required for
you to pass this class and will not affect your grade, but your cooperation and participation in
this process is critical. About two weeks before the class finishes, watch for an e-mail with
"ASU Course/Instructor Evaluation" in the subject heading. The email will be sent to your
official ASU e-mail address, so make sure ASU has your current email address on file. You
can check this online at the following URL: http://www.asu.edu/emailsignup.

Professional Behavior
It is expected that students exhibit professional behavior inside the classroom, during
intern placements, and working with other students outside of the class on assignments
related to this class in addition to behavior in the classroom on ASUs campus. If at any
time your behavior is unprofessional, the instructor may refer the student to the Director
of the Office of Student Services (OSS) for the development of a Notice of Concern.

Dismissal from Clinical Experiences (Internship or Student Teaching)


In the event a school district requests that a student be dismissed from an internship or
student teaching placement for unprofessional or inappropriate behavior the intern or
teacher candidate will be required to attend a meeting with the Division Director or
designee, the Director of Student Services and other college representative as
determined by the Division Director to discuss the reasons for request for dismissal from
the internship or student teaching placement.
If it is determined that the allegations of a violation of unprofessional behavior resulting in
the request for dismissal from the school/district are warranted, one or all of the following
actions may result. The intern or teacher candidate:

will be dismissed from the internship or student teaching placement.


will receive a failing grade (E) for the internship or student teaching course*.
will not be assigned another internship or student teaching placement during the
same semester in which the teacher candidate was assigned a failing grade
may not withdraw from the internship/clinical experience course or student teaching
course. If a withdrawal is processed by the Office of the Registrar, the grade will be
administratively changed to an (E).
must withdraw from all courses that require concurrent enrollment with internship or
student teaching.

*If an intern or teacher candidate wishes to appeal the (E) grade, s/he can follow the
grade appeal process as outlined on the Teachers College website. The first step in the
22

12/22/14

grade appeal process is to meet with the course instructor. Students have 10 business
days to appeal a grade.
If a teacher candidate wishes to repeat the internship or student teaching and concurrent
coursework for the semester following the dismissal, the teacher candidate must show
evidence of how they plan to resolve the situation or circumstances which resulted in the
removal from the internship or student teaching. The teacher candidate will be required to
meet with the Assistant Division Director and the Director of Undergraduate Services to
develop a Professional Improvement Plan (PIP) outlining expectations for continued
professional growth and academic development.
In the event that the teacher candidate violates the rules, policies, or procedures for
conduct established by the school, district, local education agency, ASU, Teachers
College, and/or the law while on a PIP for unprofessional behavior, the teacher candidate
will be disqualified from the iTeachAZ program. Teacher Candidates who are disqualified
may not petition to continue in their current academic plan, but may be eligible to pursue
other non-certification degree options within Teachers College (i.e., Educational Studies)
or within other colleges at ASU.
