STUDENT TEACHER CLASS BINDERS

           As a student teacher, you need to have a central place for your plans and reflections for each class you teach.  This notebook will serve the function of keeping you organized; further, your field supervisor will be able to assess events that have transpired since the last visitation.  As a last function, it will serve as a record of your experience throughout the year, and, therefore, be a significant force for metacognition regarding your growth as a teacher.  Last of all, it will serve as a repository of plans and unit work to draw on in your future instructional work. YOU NEED A COMPLETE NOTEBOOK FOR EACH DIFFERENT SUBJECT OR CLASS LEVEL YOU TEACH.

          The class notebook should be organized at the outset of your teaching experience, and it should contain at least the following elements:

• A copy of the class roster

• A copy of the official role (grade sheet)

• A seating chart for the class

• A planning section containing

  •  A calendar graphic organizer for the current unit of work (initialed by the master teacher)

  •  Dated daily lesson plans for the indicated work to be covered (These should be submitted and initialed several days in advance of implementation)

• A journal section containing short reflections on problems and experiences and reflections about them.  (These should be entered as a “log” with dates in sequence.)

• A “student action” section containing copies of any memoranda, referrals, commendations, parental contacts, etc.  

 In addition to these items, consult with your field supervisor for any other elements to be included. 

THIS NOTEBOOK SHOULD BE UP TO DATE AND AVAILABLE TO THE FIELD SUPERVISOR AT ANY TIME.

STUDENT TEACHER PORTFOLIOS

           In keeping with the current educational philosophy of authentic assessment, each candidate for the Single Subject Clad Emphasis Teaching Credential must, upon completion of EDSE 499 or EDSE 493, submit for review and approval by the CSUB Secondary Review Committee a portfolio of records and work as a candidate for credentialing. This portfolio will be of inestimable value in the candidate’s search placement in a position and should be designed with the same care that would be given to an effective resume.                 

      Please check the Student Teacher's Handbook for the specifics of the Portfolio. http://www.csub.edu/SoE/Teacher_Education/secondary_education/Secondary_Handbook_3.07.pdf

    Instructions for submission: Go to your Livetext page ; go to the toolbar near the top and click on Submit for Review.    A window will drop down.  Type in: edse_admin   Click : Submit

Do not submit this to an individual supervisor.  After a department member has made an evaluation, it will be marked as Completed.

EXIT SURVEY

When you have completed all of the course requirements, supervisor's observations, and the portfolio, please complete the statewide CSUB Exit Survey, required on all campuses:  Log on to :  www.csuexitsurvey.org   Complete the anonymous survey and print the final page for verification. Give this copy to your supervisor or e-mail a copy to dhatfield@csub.edu

              ATTENDANCE       

Students are required to attend all seminars. If you are unavoidably required to be absent from one of your regularly scheduled seminars, you must make arrangements in advance to visit another supervisor's session.  If an emergency occurs, notify your own supervisor as quickly as possible.  Please remember that this arrangement is a special accommodation and should not be construed to be habitually permitted.
