Teacher Candidate Evaluations

Professional Intern Observation Assessment Rubric (PIOAR) is used by the mentor teacher and university clinical educator during the 16-week professional internship to assess teaching performance, per formal observation.

Before said observation, the intern must provide a detailed lesson plan to the observer (assessor). Once observation has been completed, the assessor completes a post-conference to review the progress of the professional intern and submits the completed assessment via Qualtrics. This assessment must occur two times during the internship. The first must be scheduled during or before the fifth week of the semester. The second must occur during or before the end of the twelfth week of the semester.
