The cooperating  \nteacher/mentor is the teacher candidate’s/intern’s major resource during student teaching/internship. It is under the cooperating teacher’s/mentor’s guidance that the candidate plans and implements lessons aligned with the WV College and Career Readiness Standards and/or West Virginia Content Standards and Objectives (if science or physical education) or other professional organization standards for interns.  \nThe teacher candidate should communicate daily with his/her cooperating  \nteacher/mentor about lesson plans, instructional strategies, classroom arrangements, assessment and evaluation procedures, equity issues, students’ progress, and any other issues that might arise. In turn, the cooperating teacher/mentor will give the teacher candidate guidance and feedback. In addition, the cooperating teacher/mentor will observe the candidate, both formally and informally, and help him/her meet the University of Charleston’s Education Department Outcomes.  \nIn fulfilling this role, we ask that the cooperating teacher/mentor:  \n● Complete a WVDE online cooperating teacher module. Details to be shared by Dr. Jason Cheek through email.  \n● Prepare materials and space for the candidate, assist students/learners in developing a positive attitude towards the candidate, introduce the candidate to school/community site personnel, etc.  \n● Provide continual supervision and guidance for the candidate. The cooperating teacher’s/mentor’s major task is to help the candidate become a skilled instructor. Therefore, he/she should share his/her expertise with the candidate and discuss teaching performance daily. Frequent conferences are required.  \n● Not utilize the candidate as a substitute teacher or as a substitute professional.  \n● Consult frequently with the candidate for the purpose of monitoring progress or resolving problems. The cooperating teacher/mentor should use the Residency Tool for Assessment (RTA) or Intern Tool for Assessment (ITA) to evaluate the candidate. These evaluations should be conducted concurrently with your candidate's self-evaluations and be used as the basis for scheduled evaluation sessions with your candidate. (See below for more information on evaluation procedures.)  \n● In collaboration with the candidate and the University supervisor, the  \ncooperating teacher/mentor is to evaluate the candidate. The cooperating teacher/mentor, at times alone and at times in cooperation with the teacher candidate and the University supervisor, will conduct both formative and summative assessments ofthe teacher candidate’s/intern’s performance in meeting the University of Charleston Education Program’s Outcomes as well as other indicators of performance.  \n● Confer with the University supervisor on a regular basis concerning the candidate’s problems and/or performance.  \n● At the end of residency/internship, the cooperating teacher/mentor will evaluate the candidate using the Resident Teacher Evaluation. This evaluation should be given to the candidate in a sealed envelope.  \nFormative Assessments  \nThe cooperating teacher/mentor is in the best position to conduct on-going formative assessment of the candidate’s progress. These assessments may be done both formally, using assessment instruments, and informally, using observation notes and comments, or by having informal conversations about the teacher candidate’s/intern’s performance and progress. The Education Program at the University of Charleston recommends that the cooperating teacher/mentor conduct both formal and informal formative assessments on a daily basis. That is, informally the cooperating teacher/mentor and candidate should have frequent conversations about the can","cbCaid4VtrBC7A3R","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaid4VtrBC7A3R","pdf",185141,"English","# Cooperating Teacher/Mentor Responsibilities\n## Role and qualifications\n## Ongoing guidance and communication\n## Formative Assessments\n## Summative Assessments\n## Letters of reference","[{\"question\":\"What qualifications must a cooperating teacher/mentor meet?\",\"answer\":\"All cooperating teachers/mentors must be certified teachers or qualified professionals with at least three years of experience, professional status, and certification at the same level and in the same subject area as the candidate’s goal.\"},{\"question\":\"How do cooperating teachers/mentors support the teacher candidate day to day?\",\"answer\":\"They provide major guidance while the candidate plans and implements lessons aligned with relevant standards, and they maintain daily communication about lesson plans, instructional strategies, classroom arrangements, assessments, equity issues, and student progress.\"},{\"question\":\"What assessment tools are required for evaluating a candidate?\",\"answer\":\"The cooperating teacher/mentor should use the Residency Tool for Assessment (RTA) or Intern Tool for Assessment (ITA) for multiple observations and feedback, and then complete summative evaluation through the Residency/Intern Assessment Rubric and the Final Evaluation by Cooperating Teacher/Mentor Form.\"}]","Cooperating Teacher - Mentor Responsibilities - Responsibilities | PDF",1790133943]
