PACT Remediation Process and Candidate Agreement Form

In the event that a candidate fails PACT, s/he will be provided two moreopportunities to attempt successful completion of the event. In each case, a remediatorwill be assigned for direction and guidance. If the candidate fails the second attempt, s/he

will be given only one more opportunity to pass. The candidate is required to bear theentire cost of the remediation for the third and final attempt.

For the first resubmission attempt, the candidate and the program coordinator willbe notified that the candidate has failed as soon as full results are available from twoindependent scorers. The assessment coordinator will arrange for an appropriatelycredentialed and calibrated PACT remediator for the candidate. The remediator willreview the score set and submitted event and will then give guidance to the candidate onhow to improve their teaching style for their next attempt. The first resubmission attemptwill be completed within the semester that the first attempt was made. The exact date ofsubmission can be set for the break after the semester (as long as all in class work for the

PACT is completed while the candidates placement is still in session). This date will bedetermined by the program coordinator after discussion with the candidate. There is nocost to the candidate for the first resubmission attempt.

If the first resubmission attempt fails, the candidate will be given a finalresubmission attempt in the following semester. The candidate will be matched with anappropriately credentialed and calibrated PACT remediator for extended remediationguidance and will be placed to administer the PACT lesson in the remediatorsclassroom. This attempt will have a cost of $460 to the candidate (paid for by enrollmentin a course through Open University) to pay for the remediator and administrative costs.This is the final submission for PACT Assessment; no further tries will be permitted.
