the performance levels. The teacher candidate, the cooperating teacher, and the university supervisor each complete a separate Competency Appraisal at the midpoint and at the end of the Student Teaching experience. The Competency Appraisal form is completed at the midpoint and at end of the Student Teaching term to serve as a formative and summative evaluation of classroom performance. These performance indicators and comments serve as a diagnostic tool to identify strengths and areas for continued development. The selected indicators and comments are shared and discussed during the scheduled midterm and final three-way evaluation conferences at the school. 2. Meeting NCE/NLU Requirements Contributing to the evaluation of the Student Teaching experiences is appropriately fulfilling all university requirements as outlined in the beginning of this Handbook. The university supervisor maintains records to verify instruction, daily planning, journaling, professional demeanor, and attendance. These documents are presented to the seminar leader at the exit interview for Student Teaching. In addition, all teacher candidates are required to complete the PTA as part of the Special Education program requirement. 3. Final Grade for Student Teaching (SPE 592C) The final grade for Student Teaching is determined by the seminar leader after consultation with the university supervisor. Grades must be supported by the observation notes and Competency Appraisals. The syllabi for SPE 592c will provide more specific information and requirements for grading.
