Assessment of Student Learning

All RU student teachers are asked to create and implement units of instruction that are responsive to the needs of their students, and that make a positive impact on student learning, as evidenced by assessment data. Student teachers should be prepared to develop and implement effective formal and informal assessment instruments and approaches; to collect, organize and present assessment data; and to analyze and apply key findings from assessment data to instruction. Please consult with your university supervisor and cooperating teacher as you undertake these activities, and expect to document your efforts within the context of an assignment to be uploaded to and evaluated on Taskstream.

Cooperating Teacher Evaluation Forms

Below are links to the Student Teaching Evaluation Forms that cooperating teachers are required to fill out and submit at mid- and end-of-term.  Cooperating teachers will receive a link to the appropriate form by email, and should print out a copy of their evaluation before they click "submit." This printed copy of the evaluation should be kept for back-up documentation, and may be shared with student teachers and university supervisors.  Please note that comments embedded in the online evaluation will not appear in the printed copy; consequently, the College of Education recommends that cooperating teachers save their comments in a Word file, and copy and paste as necessary.  In addition, the evaluation form must be completed in one sitting, as it is not possible to save and return later.

Please note that in order to complete the evaluation, cooperating teachers will need to obtain their student teacher's Roosevelt University ID#. In addition, cooperating teachers will need to provide a reliable email address to their student teacher and the university supervisor.

For more information about the assessment policy and procedures, and what you need to do on Taskstream to activate the assessment process, please visit the COE Dispositions blog.
