If the deficiencies are not resolved by the end of the time frame, the Director of Field Experience reconvenes the group and discusses possible actions to be taken. These include extending the internship, placement of the intern at another site, removal of the intern from internship in order that the intern has an opportunity to remediate the deficiency, or permanent removal of the intern from internship and advising the intern about alternative career choices. II.C.4 The abilities of candidates to create meaningful learning experiences that are based on their general, content, professional, and pedagogical knowledge is assessed. Candidates demonstrate their abilities to create meaningful learning experiences that are based on their general, content, professional, and pedagogical knowledge throughout the teacher education programs. Assessment events as show by Program Maps require that candidates design instructional units and be evaluated on their teaching performances.
Portfolios require demonstrations of the creation of meaningful learning experiences.
In addition, course work throughout the teacher education programs requires candidates to create meaningful learning experiences as shown by links to standards and indicators. II.C.5 Criteria consistent with the conceptual framework of programs are used to determine eligibility for student teaching and other professional internships. The LCSC Division of Education Conceptual Framework and Teacher Education Program Standards and Indicators are used to determine admission to candidacy and to the internship year. Candidates must demonstrate competencies linked to standards during General Education Core, professional foundations, and professional studies course work. In addition, candidates must demonstrate proficiency or exemplary levels on assessment events prior to the internships.
