                  Preservice Teaching ­ A Definition 
      Preservice teaching is a period of guided, supervised teaching.  The college student is 
      gradually introduced into the teaching role for a particular class by a mentor or 
      cooperating teacher.  The cooperating teacher works with and encourages the 
      preservice teacher to assume greater responsibility in classroom management and 
      instruction as the experience progresses.  The preservice teacher begins as an 
      observer and finishes the preservice teaching experience as a competent professional. 
               Goals and Objectives for Preservice Teaching 
      Preservice teaching is an essential experience in the professional education program. 
      Although other college courses, activities, and practica contribute knowledge and 
      experience to the prospective teacher, preservice teaching provides the opportunity to 
      experience the demanding and rewarding task of assuming major teaching 
      responsibilities. 
      The preservice teaching experience is designed to provide a controlled learning 
      situation in which the prospective teacher can put into practice the principles and 
      methods learned in the Virginia Wesleyan College Teacher Education Program.  The 
      ultimate goal is for the preservice teacher to achieve competency in entry level skills in 
      the teaching profession. 
                 Evaluation Forms and Requirements 
      Evaluation is an essential part of the preservice teaching experience.  Responsibilities 
      for evaluation are divided among the college supervisor, the cooperating teacher, and 
      the building administrator. 
      College Supervisor: 
         Formative evaluations are part of every observation visit by the college 
         supervisor.  They identify strengths and areas for change and are designed to 
         assist preservice teachers in achieving competence.  Formative evaluations are 
         not part of the permanent record. 
         A mid­term evaluation is completed half way through the placement.  The 
         summative checklist is used as the basis for the mid­term evaluation.  It is not 
         part of the permanent record. 
         Summative evaluations are completed at the end of each preservice teaching 
         experience.  They represent a concluding assessment of the preservice teacher 
         in that particular experience and are part of the permanent record.  They are in 
         narrative form.  Some supervisors may wish to substitute a check list (like the 
         one used by the cooperating teacher) for a narrative.
      Cooperating Teacher: 
         Formative evaluation is completed in the first week of the placement to help 
         provide discussion topics for conferencing that is done with the preservice 
         teacher.  They identify strengths and areas for change.  They are not part of the 
         permanent record. 
         Lesson Observations are completed on three lessons during the experience. 
         The information helps the preservice teacher identify strengths and areas for 
         change.  The observations should be discussed with the preservice teacher and 
         shared with the college supervisor. 
         A mid­term evaluation is completed half way through the placement.  The 
         summative checklist is used as the basis for the mid­term evaluation.   It is not 
         part of the permanent record. 
         The summative evaluation is completed at the end of the placement.  It is a 
         part of the preservice teacher’s permanent record.  The cooperating teacher is 
         encouraged to attach a narrative to the summative evaluation. 
      School Administrator: 
         In accordance with the Commonwealth of Virginia’s requirements for approved 
         teacher preparation programs, evaluation by a school administrator is 
         required for each preservice teacher.  The Administrator’s Evaluation Form is a 
         part of the preservice teacher’s permanent record. 
      College Grades: 
      Grades for the preservice teaching experiences are assigned by the members of the 
      Virginia Wesleyan College Education Department.  The preservice teacher earns a 
      grade for each placement.  Grades are based on the following: 
         •  Satisfactory completion of the preservice teaching placement based on 
            the evaluation of the field experience by the college supervisor, the 
            cooperating teacher, and the building administrator 
         •  Completion of all seminar requirements
