KIN 402 - PHYSICAL EDUCATION PRACTICUM
COURSE ASSIGNMENT PACKET- Dr. Fran Cleland Donnelly- Dr. Matthew Cummiskey
Rationale: This practicum course is a capstone experience which provides teacher candidates with the opportunity to apply the theoretical knowledge gained in prerequisite coursework (e.g., motor learning, motor development, adapted physical education, curriculum & instruction courses at the elementary & secondary level, skill development/activity courses, assessment & technology, etc.) to the practice setting, that is, the physical education classroom. All assignments in this course packet address one or more of the NASPE Beginning Teacher Standards (2008) and lead to preparing the teacher candidate to effectively plan, implement and reflect upon teaching one complete standards based physical education lesson. Teacher candidates also examine additional topics, including but not limited to, teaching in an urban environment; job search and interview strategies; and discussion with alumni regarding their first year of teaching.
Overview: Throughout this course teacher candidates will a) examine best instructional practices, b) study developmentally appropriate content, c) analyze and reflect upon own and others’ teaching and d) apply pedagogical content knowledge by planning, implementing, assessing and reflecting upon teaching experiences within an elementary, middle or high school physical education setting.
Time Requirement: Students are required to at their school site for a minimum of 4 hours per week (observing, assisting or teaching) for the duration of KIN 402. Additional hours are encouraged pending mentor’s approval. A time log will be provided and will be checked periodically. Either the mentor or student may maintain the log, but each sheet should be checked by the mentor and signed off. If this time requirement is not met you will receive a 20% deduction from your final grade.
Overview of Tasks:Task 1 – Components of effective lesson (four parts)Task 2 – Blog (four blogs are due)Task 3 – ALTPE analysisTask 4 – Midterm evaluationTask 5 – Lesson planTask 6 – AssessmentTask 7 – Analysis of video/teaching performanceTask 8 – Mentor teacher evaluation of teachingTask 9 – University instructor evaluation of teachingTask 10 – Practicum time logTask 11 – Early field experience evaluation Task 12 – Final evaluation

TASK 2: BLOG
The purpose of the weekly journal is to align with the NASPE beginning teacher standard number 5.3 which states that beginning teachers will “Utilize the reflective cycle to implement change in teacher performance, student learning, and instructional goals and decisions.”
Your bi-weekly reflection is intended to get you, as beginning teachers, to think and reflect upon the experience of being in the schools. The entire semester is designed to be a growth process as your first regular exposure to school age children with the responsibilities of teaching planned lessons. This semester will lead into your experience as a student teacher and spending all day each week of the semester with your students. What you do from week to week, to grow as a future teacher, will help determine how effective you are and help you make immediate impact in your student teaching sites. The weekly blog is assigned with the purpose of creating an opportunity for self reflection. Beyond the tasks outlined in this packet, your Practicum experience is predicated upon your initiative and desire to want to grow from and learn the most from the experience. For the most part, the mentors are experienced teachers with a willingness to share their insight about teaching with you. The more you take advantage of this, the more you will learn.
Some suggested questions you may address include the following. You do not need to answer each question individually. You may create your own questions to answer.
What insights have you gained from you r mentor? What questions have you generated about your experience that you brought to your mentor? How do you see yourself as a teacher at this point? What has contributed to this opinion? What will you do next week to create a greater impact to your learning? What is different or similar to your expectations that is taking place at your site? What have you learned about teaching in the past that you see present or non-existent at your site? How do the teaching practices at your practicum site compare to those espoused at WCU? What have you done to interact with your mentor to become a more reflective teacher? Describe your interactions with students and how this has impacted your growth. What will you do
differently the next week to create more time with the students? How did you feel when you encountered the students in a teaching episode? Were you confident,
well-planned, did the experience go as planned, what would you do differently? What, if any, roadblocks did you encounter in your ability to implement best teaching practices?
Questions for Urban Blog 3 What were your initial impressions upon arrival at the school and in the gymnasium? What management strategies did you observe that are different than your mentor teacher’s or other
teachers that you have observed? Contrast the students to those you are familiar with or the students at your practicum site Additional comments

Task 3 – ALTPE Analysis
ALTPE (Academic Learning Time in Physical Education) is an instrument used to measure the amount of time students spend in several components of a lesson. Its main purpose is to provide a measure of what percentage of class students are active versus what percentage of class is spent in undesirable behaviors such as waiting or off-task.
Complete the ALTPE analysis twice during the semester (see due dates in timeline). To collect data, watch one student during the entire class; do not tell the ST which student is being watched. The selected student should be representative of the entire class meaning his or her activity level, behavior, & other indicators are typical and fall within normal ranges.
To begin collecting data, play the audio file once class begins. Observe the selected student for five seconds. During the next five seconds, record the code that corresponds to what they are doing. The six possible codes are:
A: activity – motor engagement in assigned task (jumping rope, participating in 3 on 3) T: transition – switching from one task to another M: management – administration of class, class business (attendance, drinks, announcements, etc) K: knowledge – teaching cognitive information (explain activity, watch demo, listen to rules/strategy,
respond to questions, discussions, closures, initiations, etc) W: waiting – waiting for turn or instruction, not doing anything O: off task – not doing assigned task, teacher addressing misbehavior
This completes one 10 second interval. Data is recorded in the grid on the following page. The grid divides 52 minutes into 10 second intervals; bolded numbers represent whole minutes and numbers followed by a dash are seconds. Below each number, in the empty box, is where a code letter is written. In the box below “0” data is recorded for seconds from 0:00-0:10, below the “10-” data is recorded for seconds from 0:10-0:20, and so on.
Basically, during the first 5 seconds of a 10 second interval, watch the student. During the second 5 seconds of a 10 second interval, write the code in the corresponding box. Let’s try an example (see “example 1”). During the first 5 seconds, the student is seated for attendance. Attendance is considered a management code so mark “M” in the grid during the next five seconds. At the 0:10 second mark, begin observing the student again for an additional five seconds from 0:10 to 0:15 (still taking attendance). From 0:15-0:20, write the code in the box. From 0:20 to 0:25, observe the student, this time listening to brief directions for an activity. From 0:25-0:30, write the code for knowledge into the grid. From 0:30-0:35, the student moves to a designated location in the gym. This is transition, so from 0:35-0:40, write “T” below the 30. Again, watch the student from 0:40-0:45, the student is physically active doing the warm-up so during 0:45-0:50, write “A” in the box below 40.
When the class is over, keep the data sheet and turn in with the assignment.

ALTPE Analysis
Directions - Following coding, complete the ALTPE Results table below. In the first column, tally each code from the Data Recording Table and then calculate the total minutes and percentage. Use example 2 (see inset) for assistance in calculating the minutes and percentage. Assume that the total number of A’s entered into the coding grid was 44. To calculate the total number of minutes, divide the tally by 6. For example, 44/6 equals 7.33 minutes. To calculate the percentage of time engagement in each code, divide the total number of minutes for EACH code by the total number of minutes for ALL codes. As an example, suppose the total number of minutes in a lesson was 35. By dividing 7.33 by 35, the percentage of time devoted to activity can be recorded as 21%.

ALTPE AnalysisRespond to each question via separate numbered paragraphs
1. According to NASPE, at least 50% of class time should be active. Waiting (W), management (M), transition (T), and off-task (O) should be as low as possible. Knowledge time varies depending on the lesson and there is not set recommended percentage; instead use common sense. Compare these guidelines to the data you recorded during the observation.
2. If the data collected does not conform to the above stated guidelines, identify reasons why. If they do, what strategies enabled you to meet these guidelines?
3. Identify how you could improve the percentages.

Describes two meaningful and effective modifications, for students with disabilit-ies, allow Ss to progress at own level while addressing same content as others
Provides two accommodations but not detailed enough, could be more effective but can be implemented for Ss with disabilities
One accommodation or two mostly generic ones, will single out Ss, limited practicality, are not aligned with the lesson, or exclude
Accommodations are not listed or will do more harm than good.
Differentia-tion Tasks[1]
Describes two meaningful ways to make the activity more or less challenging for high/low performers, allows Ss to progress at own level
Differentiations provide options but do not meaningfully challenge Ss of varying ability
Differentiations address only high or low performers, not both. Some differentiations are not legitimate, fluffy
Differentiations are not listed, will single out or embarrass Ss, not linked to informing task
Closure[1]
Sense of completion, reviews the essential content/objectives; challenges Ss or involves higher order thinking.
Reviews the lesson but does not align well with major/”take home” points, somewhat rote or not challenging
Teacher states what was done in class, or simply says what will happen next class

TASK 7: ANALYSIS OF VIDEO/TEACHING PERFORMANCE
Preparing and Execution of Teaching Performance:1. Your lesson plan must be approved by both your mentor teacher and University instructor a
minimum of 3 days prior to your teaching.2. The lesson must be for a complete physical education class period.3. Your mentor teacher SHOULD NOT assist you when teaching this lesson.4. Be sure your voice can be clearly heard. It is best to use a remote microphone. Just prior to
recording your teaching, make a test recording and play it back to make sure BOTH the audio and video work properly. Change or charge the battery in all recording devices prior to use.
5. Use a tripod to steady the camera (sign out when signing out recorder)6. Be sure the videotape follows the teacher candidate
Analysis of Teaching:1. Self-analysis: View your videotape and rate yourself as proficient, developing, basic or below
basic for each row of the Task 6 Self-analysis Rubric. Then, provide a brief one paragraph rationale justifying your self-rating. For example:
a. “Anticipator Set: Rating – Proficient, Rationale – I gathered all the students in and briefly explained what the lesson would include, placed it in the context of the previous lesson and finished by stating why the content is important to our overall goal for the unit. I was clear but didn’t waste time with too many words and all the students could hear me. ”
2. Response to Peer Review: After you have engaged in the Peer Review of your videotaped teaching, reflect on their comments and include your response to your peer’s feedback in your written summary IN A SEPARATE PARAGRAPH.
3. Response to Mentor Review: After your teaching experience meet with your mentor teacher to discuss their analysis of your teaching. Be sure to provide the rubric to them prior to the observation of your teaching. Reflect on your mentor teacher’s comments in your written summary IN A SEPARATE PARAGRAPH.
Note: You will have a total of 19 paragraphs for task 7

Teacher provides clear and thorough directions throughout, no S confusion evident, all aspects of activity included
Teacher provides clear directions most of the time. slightly off or omitting some instructions or information needed
Teacher provides clear directions some of the time, some students are confused, demonstrations lead to undesired results
Teacher directions were not clear and did not use demonstration to clarify.
3.Verbal Qualities[1/2]
Audible, strong varied voice; word usage is clear and efficient; no fillers “um,” vocab & cadence are appropriate for grade, proper grammar
Appropriate voice, occasional fillers, some varied intonation, generally clear, needs slightly modified vocab, ends with prepositions
Some difficulty in hearing ST, some confusion or rambling, clarity needs improvement , more use of fillers, words too difficult
Monotone, too low, frequent fillers, confusing word usage, vocabulary is inappropriate for grade of Ss, grammar/word usage is poor example
4.Know-ledge /Demos[1]
Strong, in-depth knowledge of concepts & skills, answers all questions, confident, excellent/viewable demos with appropriate cues
Comfortable with knowledge, skills, demos; could be more refined, comments to Ss accurate, too many or few cues or limited visibility
One or two minor errors in knowledge, skills, demos, feedback, or rules; difficulty breaking down skills or concepts for Ss, inaccurate cues
Major errors or multiple minor ones, unable to answer Qs, Ss recognize T inability, not up to date, unskilled demo, cues limit learning, can’t see demo
5.Learn-ing Activ-ities [2]
Activities aligned with & support objectives, engage Ss in meaningful content; can optimally and effectively foster learning,
Activities taught meaningfully allow Ss to improve the desired tactic, some changes could result in more learning
Activities relate to desired learning but are limited in their potential to foster improvement, lecture or same activity throughout
Activities loosely related to topic, mostly busy work, unlikely students will improve much
6.Sequen-cing[1/2]
Tasks are developmentally appropriate and are sequenced in order of difficulty; leads to connections; allows for variability/differentiation
Ss generally have the skills/knowledge for each succeeding task, some misalignment, some variability and differentiation
Tasks are developmentally too easy or too hard for most students, progressions missed, limited adjustments for high & low performers
Not developmentally appropriate, no logical sequence or progressions, no ability to connect lesson segments; one size fits all approach
7.Engage-ment[1]
Ss are highly engaged in all learning tasks, waiting and off-task are minimal, activities are of interest to Ss, many opportunities to respond (OTR’s), pace/time is appropriate for learning,
Ss could be more actively involved through instructional changes; activities are appealing to a majority of the class, slightly excessive waiting, could use more/less time per activity
Limited use of engaging and interesting activities, frequent lost learning time, Ss disinterested, fewer opportunities to respond and improve, rushed or too slow at points
Activities mostly drills, boring, waiting and non-learning time are overly abundant, Ss can’t wait for class to end, timing completely off, failed to recognize pace or activity change
8.Resour-ces[1/2]
Resources &/or equipment suitable & safe for lesson, augments learning, fair, maximizes time on task
Resources not used optimally, better choice available for improved learning, some imbalance
Resources mostly ineffective, potential safety issue, too few or not designed well
Unaware how to use resources, not available, unsafe, not equitable in terms of use
17
Proficient (4) Developing (3) Basic (2) Below Basic (0)9.Feedback[1]
Mix of general and specific comments relating to objectives; provides info about S strengths & weak-nesses, continuous throughout lesson, praises positive outcomes /behaviors, uses whole class feedback on occasion
Feedback to students is general but provides some info about their learning strengths and weaknesses, intermittent throughout a lesson, generally negative or neutral feedback, limited whole class feedback or redirects
Amount and quality of feedback negatively impacts S learning, is limited, unlikely to improve performance, lots of “goods”, occasional feedback, consistently negative, no whole class feedback or redirects
Teacher provides directions and “sits back” until next task or incorrect feedback provided, abrasive feedback, incorrect feedback
10.Trans-itions[1]
Transitions are purposeful and efficient, seamless; Ss not confused; time not wasted, effective changes in grouping & organization
Transitions and handling of materials occur smoothly most of the time with little loss of instructional time
Transitions are at times disorderly or inefficient, better management of Ss , groupings or materials are needed
Significant time is lost during transition, disorderly, a mess
11.Moni-tor & Adjust[1/2]
Monitors/modifies lesson as appropriate, highly responsive to S input/ performance; flexible
Monitoring focuses on taskcompletion & S engage-ment, some adjustment for time, space, materials.
Focused simply on Ss being on-task, little attention to progress towards learning
No adjustments even when they are obviously necessary, follows failing plan; inflexible
12.Class Manage-ment[1]
Notices and addresses off-task Ss, uses appropriate intervention, minimized disruption, effective routines, consequences applied consistently
Ss generally on task, some missed or not addressed off-task behavior, a few Ss not engaged or not following rules, routines helpful, consequences OK
Ss talking often or playing with equipment, somewhat ineffective strategies, little structure to address off-task behavior, routines needs improvement
Teachers fails to notice or take action, negative classroom, repeated off-task behaviors, ineffective, loss of control, fails to administer consequence
13.ClassEnviron-ment [1/2]
Classroom interactions are highly respectful , encour-aging & positive, Ss help maintain civility, + rapport
Interactions reflect general caring and encouragement, respectful of differences among Ss, OK rapport
Generally appropriate and free from conflict, charac-terized by occasional displays of insensitivity.
Negative or inappropriate and characterized by sarcasm, putdowns, or conflict, no rapport w/ Ss
14.Teacher Move-ment[1/2]
Sees all Ss during the entire lesson, keeps back to wall, moves consistently to all parts of space, moves when necessary
Sees majority of Ss, occasionally Ss to back of teacher, moves periodically or is slow to move when necessary
T position frequently puts Ss to back, generally stays in one area (“favorite spot”), does not move/ use proximity when needed
T often cannot see all Ss, stays in same place throughout class
15.Teacher Prese-nce [1/2]
Verbal and non-verbal demeanor demonstrates enthusiasm and eager involvement in the class
Engaged with Ss but not in an eager or motivating fashion
Disconnect from students, putting in time/going through motions
Present but appearing disinterested or impassioned, harsh towards students
16.Question-ing[1/2]
Asks meaningful challenging Qs that elicit a variety of S responses, checks for understanding (CFU), involves critical thinking, redirects if Ss are stumped, uses wait time
Asks questions and CFU but questions slightly too easy or hard, narrow or lower level questions more abundant, could wait a bit longer
Checks for understanding (CFU), but asks a general question, easy questions, somewhat rhetorical Qs, fails to appropriately redirect after Qs, limited in extending S learning
Does not check for understanding during the lesson or simply provides Ss the answer, little wait time employed (answers Qs for Ss)
17.Closure[1/2]
Addresses and aligned with major concept or skills, involved Ss, higher order Qs
Take home message could be stronger or more aligned with lesson’s major content or essential content
Loosely linked or fails to address one or several important aspects of the lesson, questioning is elementary, rushed
No purposeful closure was conducted, class ended and students left

Task 12 Final Evaluation
ST:_________________________________ CT:___________________________ Date:___________
PROFICIENT (4) DEVELOPING (3)
BASIC (2) BELOW BASIC (0)
Content Knowledge/Skill and Fitness Competence1.H&PE Content Knowledge/ Competence[2]
Exhibited an in-depth knowledge and ability related to skills, strategies, and content knowledge in both health and PE across wide range of subjects & activities; highly effective skill demonstrations (e.g. tennis serve)
ST developing mastery of content through specific corrective steps (not giving up), frequently sought additional resources, HPE content knowledge is “mostly there,” lacked some confidence in CK
ST lacked sufficient CK about some or most of the content, minimally sought additional resources for improvement, demonstrations were often erroneous, unable to answer questions or effectively demonstrate.
Cognitive and psycho-motor content knowledge is poor, is attempting to teach when vastly underprepared and/or lacking knowledge
2. Critical Elements (CEs) & Performance Concepts (PCs)[1]
Analyze skills to create appropriate CEs (quality, quantity) and correct critical elements of motor skills and performance concepts, used effectively during instruction
Appropriate number of cues although important cues are sometimes absent or unimportant cues are sometimes included, some difficulty providing cue oriented analysis of skill
Provides too many or too few CEs, pronounced difficulty determine what CEs were performed correctly/ incorrectly following a skill performance
Often selects erroneous CEs that will hinder student learning, cannot effectively analyze the cues in a performance
Classroom Environment/Class Management3.Rules, Routines and Procedures (RRP’s)[1]
RRP’s are effective and consistently employed, clear start and stop signal, no loss of instructional time
RRPs consistently employed – some lost instructional time here (especially attendance) or with equipment
Ss confused about RRPs or when to stop/start, equipment distribution is unorganized, unsafe, or chaotic
Few RRPs or they vary by the day, needed CT to impose order or consistently enforce
4.Behavioral Expectations and Monitoring Students[1]
High expectations for S behavior, standards were consistently enforced; proactive to prevent problems, firm yet supportive
Standards of behavior somewhat unclear, some Ss did not know what was expected, should have prevented more problems from arising.
ST often aware behavior expectations were being violated but did not step in and address the problem,
Standards of behavior were unclear, incomplete and/or inappropriate. ST did not monitor or become aware of misbehavior
5.Responding to Student Behaviors Effectively[2]
Used a variety of effective interventions (proximity, consequences, name in sentence, redirection etc), tailored intervention for student & circumstances
Used but may overuse one or two behavioral management strategies. Interventions generally were effective and sensitive to student differences
Interventions worked for a short time but off-task behavior usually continued. Different approaches needed but not attempted. Reticent to address problems
Inconsistently or incorrectly used behavioral management strategies. Loss of control. Made situations worse. Not ready for own class
6.Rapport with
Maintained appropriate adult/S
Maintained appropriate &
Little rapport with Ss or related with only
Had none or inappro-priate
21
Students Parents[1]
interaction, mutual trust, enhanced learning environment, approachable, positive, creative solutions
professional adult/student interactions, Ss respect-ed teacher, some lack of connection with Ss
selected students, did not like working with parents – somewhat effective
relationships with Ss; awkward with Ss, taught and then disconnects, belittles Ss
Planning7.Lesson Objectives[1]
ST effectively wrote objectives that were student centered, with a clear and observable outcome, neither too easy nor difficult. Aligned with the appropriate standard
ST mostly employed clear and observable outcomes. Some errors relating to action words or conditions. Overemphasis on specific standards.
Too many or too few, little focus on learning, vague, somewhat confusing, mostly lower order skills or knowledge concepts)
ST had difficulty writing objectives, written more from the perspective of what students will be doing rather than learning.
8.Develop-mental Appropriate-ness[1]
Instruction, vocab, motor learning principles & equipment were appropriate, progressive and sequential for develop-mental level of students, logical, no gaps
Inconsistently applied developmental appropriateness; tasks, vocab, groupings, objectives etc slightly developmentally inappropriate
Student progressions, equipment, vocab were either too difficult (frustration) or too easy (boredom), sequence disorganized, large gaps in progressions
Frequent developmentally inappropriate practices, resulting in consistent failure of Ss, sequences tasks from more advanced to less advanced
9.Lesson Tasks/Activities[2]
Ample opportunities for Ss to improve, aligned with lesson objectives, many opportunities to respond, resulted in optimal learning, creative, innovative, engaging
Activities taught meaningfully allowed students to improve but generally could be more effective with repeated modifications
Activities taught relate to desired content but are limited in their potential to foster improvement, resulted in some improvement, boring, little progress
Activities loosely related to topic, mostly busy work, unlikely students will improve much, failed to engage students
10.Differentiate-ion & Varied Method-ology[2]
Effectively addressed a wide variety of teaching styles, learning styles, models (sport ed, tactical games), equipment & lec-ture strategies to engage wide variety of Ss. Diversified practice.
ST developed a tried and true format and attempted some different instructional formats, some consideration for high and low performers or attempts to expand practice
ST generally used the command or practice style in PE and the lecture in health. Class became somewhat repetitive for students, lesson designed mostly for average student
Little variation in instructional practice, teaching styles, materials, and formats to meet student needs
11.Planned Accommodations[1]
Consistently planned effective variety of strategies for Ss with disabilities (rules, groupings etc), strategies specific to disability(ies)
ST was developing competence, accommodating Ss with disabilities, repeatedly tried strategies that didn’t work, lacking some creativity
Accommodations somewhat generic or impractical. Incomplete, not well correlated to Ss needs or disability, didn’t fully understand disability
Planned lessons as if no student had special needs, excluded student from lesson content (kept score), classes as if no S had special needs.
12. Used resources to Some difficulty Managed resources Resources excluded
22
Resource Management [1]
promote active and fair experiences, all students participated fully, encouraged student choice that best suited their needs
anticipating how some resources would adversely affect some students or groups more than others (unintentional)
effectively for average student but had difficulty planning for high and low performers, used same few resources
some students from participating, inherent bias that made success difficult
Instructional Delivery13.Communica-tion[2]
Clear, concise, age appropriate and thorough directions, no confusion, conveys respect and sensitivity, all directions included, audible to all , excellent grammar, free from slang
Activities explained clearly, Ss less sure of what was required, could be explained for succinctly, major directions included, words may be too advanced, occasional poor grammar
Teacher provided clear directions most of the time, omitted some instructions, excessive use of fillers (um, er), low volume often, on rare occasional disrespectful or insensitive to Ss
Frequently forgot major directions leading to student confusion, immature or unprofessional, language, not able to be heard often, disdain or frequent disrespect
14.Anticipatory Set[1]
ST consistently explained purpose or context of lesson, motivated Ss, set expectations, Ss saw content as relevant
ST explained in what the class will be engaged but occasionally didn’t provide a rationale, purpose, or context
Minimal initiation, rushed or not well thought through. Little effort, if any to explain the rationale or context, no motivation
Initiation often absent, ST often skipped directly to the first activity, no connection to rationale, purpose or context
15.Engagement[2]
Ss highly involved, wait time kept minimal, often used small sided activities
Some lost instructional time due to instructional design or waiting
Many students to “check out,” large scale activities/few OTR’s
Mostly standing or talking to others, hardly involved in learning tasks
16.Transitions[2]
Purposeful and efficient, seamless; time not wasted Ss not confused; effective changes in grouping & organization
Transitions and handling of materials occur smoothly most of the time with little loss of instructional time
Transitions are at times disorderly or inefficient, better management of Ss , groupings or materials needed
Significant time is lost during transition, disorderly, a mess, hard getting student attention back
17.Monitor & Adjust[1]
Monitors/modifies lesson as appropriate, highly responsive to S input/ performance; flexible
Mad some adjustment for time, space, materials etc. Somewhat slow to make adjustments
Focused simply on Ss being on-task and following lesson plan, didn’t like adjusting
No adjustments even when they are obviously necessary, follows failing plan; inflexible
18.Class Involvement-Movement[1]
Consistently moved throughout the teaching space including corners and the center
Moved around the classroom but generally did so less frequently or with inadequate coverage
Generally stayed in one section or half of the gym or classroom, some movement
Teacher tended to remain stationary most of the class, some movement, mostly “planted”
19.Enjoyment[2]
Students enjoyed vast majority of lessons taught
Activities appealed and were enjoyed by a majority of the class
Little engagement & fun, predictable, disinterested, mostly filling in handouts
Activities were mostly drills, boring, no variety
20. Used challenging, Closures reviewed Closure often was Closures often
23
Closure[1]
higher order Qs to reviews EC or objectives, creative, consistently involves Ss
objectives, overly teacher centered, not especially challenging for students.
rushed, generic, or not challenging, stated what was done, restated skill cues
skipped or not evident due to poor time management
Feedback and Assessment21.Feedback Amount and Type[2]
Feedback to students was a mix of general, specific, and corrective comments; frequent and timely interactions, uses group feedback well
Feedback to students was again a mix of general and specific but was not frequent or timely enough, needed to provide more specific or corrective
Feedback was general and provided limited info about S performance. Lack of feedback impairs learning, does not like to use group feedback.
Teacher mostly explains directions and “sits back” waiting to explain next activity, obvious spots where feedback needed but not provided
22.Skill Analysis[1]
Correctly identified important performance mistakes and prioritized relevant feedback
Correctly identified mistakes but feedback was sometimes confusing, verbose or inadequate
Could determine “something was not right” but not exactly what
No or little idea how to respond to skill performance errors
Professionalism and Other23.Appearance[1]
ST knew and consistently followed established attire and grooming standards as outlined in the student teaching manual both in and out of the classroom
Infrequent attire irregularities including plain T-shirts, unshaven, messy hair, disheveled or baggy clothes, dirty. Mostly projected a professional image
ST’s attire sometimes did not fit professional norms or those established by WCU. Had to be occasionally reminded of dress code

24.Energy, Enthusiasm & Attitude[1]
Consistent energy and enthusiasm for teaching and the subject, inspiring to Ss, positive attitude, eager involvement w/ Ss
Ready to go each day, receptive to students, conveys the subject matter, some positive energy towards teaching
Energy and enthusiasm for teaching and subject matter were inconsistent, sometimes disinterested
Wall flower, passing time, not remotely enthusiastic about subject or Ss, waiting for the end of the day, harsh to Ss
25.Punctuality and Depend-ability[1]
Reported to the school on time, and completes work in a timely manner, quality first attempts. Made preparation at least two days in advance for all teaching
Late once in a great while, fulfills all professional responsibilities, was well-prepared, submitted work is 90+% done
Late minimally several times or severely once, sometimes well prepared, planning not always submitted two days in advance, submitted work should be more polished
Was often late; often unprepared, has left early, work was substandard & required significant and consistent changes to be classroom ready, had to “pull” work out of ST
26.Collaboration[1]
Consistently collaborated well &/or build relation-ships w/ others; routinely shared resources, partic-ipated in professional dev.,
ST was developing the ability to effectively collaborate with colleagues, professionals, and parents in ways that benefited students
Showed some interest in collaboration with other professionals, did not attend all professional development opportunities
ST rarely consulted, or inappropriately consulted with other colleagues, professionals or parents to benefit students, did the bare minimum
24
went extra mile required of CTReflection
27.Self-Reflection[1]
Independently made accurate appraisals of effectiveness using data, initiated positive change, offered alternatives for ineffective practice, sought outside resources
ST needed some support from CT or US to accurately reflect. Usually made necessary adjustments.
ST missed a major deficiency or incorrectly evaluated an ineffective practice. Generic reflections. Didn’t utilize data from assessments
