Teacher Certification Professional Intervention and Program Dismissal Process Introduction The Professional Intervention and Program Dismissal Process, hereafter referred to as The Intervention

Process, used by the Teacher Certification Program within the SOE (SOE) at Gonzaga University is a formative process designed to provide support, via a system of remediation, for teacher candidates who might be experiencing difficulty in the teacher certification preparation program and a process for dismissal when warranted. The Intervention Process communication between teacher candidates and the University Professional Community is outlined in the following four steps. For the purposes of this document, “the University Professional Community” henceforth will be referred to as “Community Member,” includes all faculty, staff, and administrative personnel on the university campus and in the local educational community who interact with teacher candidates. NOTE: The Intervention Process can proceed to any step immediately if in the professional opinion of the “Community Member” the behavior is deemed severe enough.

Steps for Activating the Intervention Process STEP I: Verbal discussion A Community Member initiates a verbal discussion with the teacher candidate regarding a behavioral concern that has been observed. Step 1 serves as a warning to the teacher candidate that modification in behavior is required. Following the discussion, the Community Member will email informal documentation to the teacher candidate within 48 hours summarizing the discussion and provide the teacher candidate an opportunity to submit a response. The teacher candidate has 48 hours to submit a response. If the teacher candidates does not submit a response, the Community Member may assume that the candidate had no questions or clarifications from the discussion. There is no formal documentation placed in the candidate’s file. Informal Documentation to include: • Identification of the behavioral concern(s) • Date of discussion • Action/time frame recommended for correcting the undesired behavior • Initial documentation will be kept with the Community Member. Note: A candidate may be involved in more than one informal verbal discussion should there be concerns from more than one Community Member.


Teacher Certification Professional Intervention and Program Dismissal Process STEP II: Formal discussion between the teacher candidate and a Community Member A Community Member(s) will convene an in-person meeting with the teacher candidate. During this meeting, the Community Member(s) will clearly communicate verbally and in writing that the teacher candidate is at Step II of The Intervention Process and an intervention plan that identifies the concern(s) and the corrective action required. The candidate will be given the opportunity to share his/her perspective at the time of the meeting or he/she may request additional time to respond to the concerns. Should the latter option be chosen, it is the candidate’s responsibility to make certain a time has been set (within 5 working days) for the meeting. This meeting is to provide to the Community Member(s) the teacher candidate’s written documentation supporting his or her perspective. At the conclusion of this meeting, the teacher candidate will be required to sign the appropriate documentation acknowledging that Step II was conducted. This signature does NOT indicate acceptance of the conditions. All documentation will be shared with the candidate’s SOE (SOE) Advisor, Department Chair where the concern originated, and placed in the file that rests with his/her SOE advisor.

STEP III: Continuation of the behavioral concern A Community Member(s) will complete a new intervention plan that identifies the concern(s) and the corrective action to be taken and present it to the SOE Teacher Certification Department Chair of the department where the concern originated. The SOE Teacher Certification Department Chair, where the concern originated, will convene an in-person meeting with the teacher candidate, the Community Member(s) citing the concern, and the teacher candidate’s SOE advisor. The teacher candidate may bring an individual for support, other than legal counsel to the meeting, should he/she choose. Concurrently, the SOE Teacher Certification Department Chair, where the concern originated, will notify the Dean or Associate Dean in writing that Step III of The Intervention Process is being pursued. At this meeting, the Community Member(s) will clearly communicate verbally and in writing to the teacher candidate that he/she is at Step III of The Intervention Process, the concern(s), future expectations, and the potential for being dismissed from the program or both. The candidate will be given the opportunity to share his/her perspective at the time of the meeting or he/she may request additional time to respond to the concerns. Should this latter option be chosen, it is the candidate’s responsibility to make certain a time has been set (within 5 working days) for the meeting. This meeting is to provide the Community Member the teacher candidate’s written documentation supporting his or her perspective. At the conclusion of this meeting, the teacher candidate will be required to sign the appropriate documentation acknowledging that Step III was conducted. This signature does NOT indicate acceptance of the conditions.


Teacher Certification Professional Intervention and Program Dismissal Process All documentation from Step III will be placed in the candidate’s file that rests with his/her SOE advisor and the Department Chair, where the concern originated.

STEP IV: Dismissal from the Program This step is activated if the teacher candidate continues to exhibit the behavioral concern and there has been no progress toward complying with the remediation plan that has been presented and agreed upon in Step III or if the behavior is considered severe enough to warrant dismissal. Action 1: The “Request for Dismissal from Program” form is completed and includes documentation supporting the rationale for dismissal (assignments, emails, previous meeting documentations, etc.) Action 2: The Request for Dismissal from Program form is brought forward to the SOE Certification Committee from the Teacher Certification Chair of the Department where the concern originated. The Certification Committee makes a recommendation for a course of action. a. If the Certification Committee supports “dismissal,” then the process will move to Action 3 below. b. If the Certification Committee requires more documentation or a visit with the student, then the process stops until that can take place. This action must take place within a reasonable time from the point of submission to the Committee. See Alternative Steps for the Certification Committee below. Action 3: A meeting will take place with the teacher candidate, the Community Member(s) citing the concern, the teacher candidate’s SOE advisor, the Gonzaga University Teacher Certification Chair of the Department where the concern originated, and, if desired, a support person of the teacher candidate’s choosing, other than legal counsel. The Department Chair will conduct the meeting, clearly communicating the rationale for dismissal from the program. At this meeting, the candidate will NOT be given the opportunity to share his/her perspective or submit any additional materials. At the conclusion of the meeting, the teacher candidate will be presented the ‘dismissal form’ and requested to sign. It will be emphasized that this signature does NOT indicate acceptance or non-acceptance of the dismissal, but only that there has been a meeting and the information regarding the dismissal has been presented to the teacher candidate. A copy of this information, and that an official dismissal letter will be given to the teacher candidate for his/her file. Should the teacher candidate not be in agreement with the dismissal, he or she may then proceed to the Formal Appeal Process that is outlined in the SOE Fair Process Manual. The teacher candidate may also request a copy of the process from The Dean’s Office should he/she not have access to the Fair Process Manual.

Alternative Actions by the Teacher Certification Committee The Committee will request the information it needs to render a final decision. This information may include additional documentation, interviews with any of the Community Members who are involved, or the teacher candidate. Once the committee has gathered all the information it must render a decision to either dismiss or retain the teacher candidate. If the committee upholds the dismissal request then the process resumes at Step


Teacher Certification Professional Intervention and Program Dismissal Process IV, Action 3 listed above. If the Certification Committee decides not to support the dismissal request, then a new remediation plan must be drafted for the teacher candidate and The Intervention Process returns to Step III.

FIELD EXPERIENCE GUIDE Introduction to the Field Experience Field experiences at Gonzaga University provide opportunities for teacher candidates to observe experienced teachers, practice newly emerging teaching skills, and apply theory gained from university coursework to the “real world’ of elementary, middle, and secondary schools. It is also a time of feedback and reflection on the social, psychological, and pedagogical aspects of classroom and school life.

Washington State Standards for Beginning Teachers EFFECTIVE TEACHING (i) Using multiple instructional strategies, including the principles of second language acquisition, to address student academic language ability levels and cultural and linguistic backgrounds

(ii) Applying principles of differentiated instruction, including theories of language acquisition, stages of language, and academic language development, in the integration of subject matter across the content

areas of reading, mathematical, scientific, and aesthetic reasoning

(iii) Using standards-based assessment that is systematically analyzed using multiple formative, summative,

and self-assessment strategies to monitor and improve instruction

(iv) Implementing classroom/school centered instruction, including sheltered instruction that is connected to communities within the classroom and the school, and includes knowledge and skills for working with others

(v) Planning and/or adapting standards-based curricula that are personalized to the diverse needs of each

student

(vi) Aligning instruction to the learning standards and outcomes so all students know the learning targets and their progress toward meeting them

(vii) Planning and/or adapting curricula that are standards driven so students develop understanding and problem-solving expertise in the content area(s) using reading, written and oral communication, and technology

(viii) Preparing students to be responsible citizens for an environmentally sustainable, globally interconnected, and diverse society

STUDENT TEACHING GUIDE Introduction to the Student Teaching Experience Welcome to Gonzaga University student teaching. The goal of this guide is to provide an overview of this capstone experience and assist in providing information that will be helpful to the student teacher, cooperating teacher, and Gonzaga University supervisor.

Overview Student teaching is the intensive collaborative and culminating experience of the Gonzaga University Teacher Certification Program. This capstone course engages the student teacher in the actual activity of teaching for approximately 15-16 weeks and a minimum of 450 hours. Student teaching gives the prospective teacher the

opportunity to meld theory with practice in the actual activity of teaching. The foundation is for student teachers

to have a positive impact on student learning. This experience is in partnership with the cooperating teacher, the student teacher, the university supervisor and the faculty and staff of Gonzaga.

teacher should be part of the meeting. A building administrator may be invited to attend. At the exit meeting, all documentation included in the Teacher Education/Certification checklist needs to be given to the university

supervisor.

Placement File It is the student teacher’s responsibility to maintain their own placement file and to get three letters of

recommendation. One from the university supervisor, one from the cooperating teacher and one from a

principal if possible or another professional who has seen the teaching. Your file may also contain tests scores, resume and philosophy.

Suggested Framework for Calendar Plan for Student Teaching The following is offered as a gradual release of responsibility for the student teacher, but each situation is unique. This is an example and not prescriptive. Please make adaptations as needed for the cooperating

teacher, student teacher and university supervisor keeping in mind P-12 student learning needs. It is important to draft a tentative time frame for the 16 weeks.

Week One Student teacher begins building relationships with the cooperating teacher, students and university supervisor. Familiarity with policies, emergency drills, and procedures, routines in the classroom, curriculum guides, and school facilities takes place this week. Initiative should be taken to introduce him/herself to the building

administration team and other faculty members. Student teacher should begin working with individual and

small groups. Ask questions, discuss observations with cooperating teacher, and find out about instructional

responsibilities for the following week. Get to know your students, start building relationships and be thinking about your context for learning task.


STUDENT TEACHING GUIDE Week Two to Three Become familiar with student records, assessment and reporting procedures. Participate in co-teaching with cooperating teacher. If possible, observe other teachers for specific purposes, such as management

techniques, student engagement, and transitions techniques. Discuss teaching plans and make written plans available to cooperating teacher for review. Take responsibility for small group content area activities and

planning/delivery of one period or content area. Start planning with co-teaching strategies and long term planning. Self-reflect and set goals based on evidence of impact on students.

edTPA- Determine your central focus, and collaborate with your cooperating teacher about the best time to deliver your 3-5 edTPA teaching segments that fit in the curriculum.

Week Four to Six Gradually assume responsibility for more subject areas or classes. Share lesson plans with cooperating teacher prior to presenting lessons. If co-teaching, co-plan to share role responsibilities. Midterm meeting should be arranged for the next couple of weeks. Cooperating teacher should observe student teacher and offer suggestions and positive reinforcement. Candidate is open to suggestions for changes and is able to

demonstrate these changes in lesson presentations. Self-reflect and set goals based on evidence of impact on

students. edTPA- Start planning your edTPA lessons. Start practicing videoing lessons so that you and your students are comfortable.

Week Seven to Twelve The student teacher in collaboration with the cooperating teacher assumes responsibility for preparing and

implementing the curriculum. This may be in the form of co-teaching, but the candidate should experience a

minimum of three weeks solo teaching during this time period. Self-reflect and set goals based on evidence of

impact on students. edTPA- The student teacher should be videotaping your teaching segments.

Week Thirteen to Fourteen Continue collaboration with cooperating teacher with student teacher solo teaching for at least two weeks.

Begin the conversation of transition out of full time teaching. Make sure all student progress records are up to date. Invite the principal to observe you teaching so they can write a letter of recommendation. Self-reflect and set goals based on evidence of impact on students. Set your exit meeting date.

Week Fifteen Final phasing out of teaching responsibilities for the student teacher takes place. All final assessments and paperwork for the candidate are completed. Exit interview with PGP is usually scheduled this week.


STUDENT TEACHING GUIDE Week Sixteen Student teacher in collaboration with the cooperating teacher arranges observation of other classrooms and teachers in the building, or making visits outside the building.

Stages that can happen during the Student Teaching Experience Anticipation Candidates are often excited and apprehensive. They have a pre-conceived idea of what the experience should

be. They are committed to making a difference and have ideas they want to try. Student teachers are usually very idealistic.

Survival Candidates may feel overwhelmed. They are taking in vast amounts of information and skills. Even the most well prepared candidates can be caught off guard and overwhelmed. It is important to break down each activity in a

scaffolding manner to bring to a sound organization system and ability to manage. They are concerned about the evaluations of supervisors and cooperating teachers, which can cause a great deal of stress at this stage.

Disillusionment This stage reflects stress and not because they are not passionate for teaching. Candidates are taking on more

and more and often fail to recognize the positive elements that occur. They are being evaluated and some selfdoubt and/ or questioning happens. Realize this is normal and focus on the positive!

Rejuvenation Feeling more confident and understanding routine, school culture and the students. There is more time to focus

on planning and instruction.

Reflection This usually happens the last few weeks and is an excellent opportunity to engage in the Professional growth plan. They can begin to catalog what they have learned and can see themselves as a first year teacher.

Visa, American Express, Diner’s Club, Discover and MasterCard are accepted. Student Accounts asks that students and their families become familiar with the electronic billing process. When an electronic billing statement is sent, students and authorized payers receive an e-mail notification that their online bill is available. This email provides a link to Zagweb and then to CASHNet where the bill can be viewed, printed and/or paid. It is imperative that students set up any authorized payers through CASHNet. Step by step instructions for setting up a parent or other third party as an Authorized Payer can be found at www.gonzaga.edu/studentaccounts on the Billing and Payment link or by clicking on the “Help” button in CASHNet.

Electronic billing notifications are sent to the students at their Gonzaga email address and it is the responsibility of the student to read their Gonzaga email in a timely fashion. The obligation to pay the Gonzaga Student Account bill by the due date is not altered or modified in any way by the electronic billing process. It will remain the responsibility of the student to ensure their amount due is paid on or before the due date. Tuition, room & board, fees and/or other charges will be due and payable when incurred by the student. The electronic billing statement is printable. If you do not wish to pay online by American Express, Diner’s Club, Discover or MasterCard, you may print out the electronic bill and send the billing statement along with your check to Student Accounts. Please remember that your check must be payable in United States Funds. Electronic bills can also be saved as an attachment and sent by email. Students whose parents do not have access to email will be able to print the PDF copy of their bill and deliver it to them.

Center for Cura Personalis Empowering students to be their best selves CCP serves students through proactive outreach and personalized support for those that might be struggling. We work to connect students to resources and strategies that will help each individual be successful in their time at Gonzaga. Case Managers meet with students one-on-one to discuss how things have been going, resources that fit any given situation, and determine ways in which a student can move forward. We aim to reduce barriors for students by supporting them, connecting them to appropriate resources, and empowering them to move forward. “Cura personalis” means care for the whole person. We are dedicated to the mission of “cura personalis” as described by Peter-Hans Kolvenbach SJ, Jesuit superior, when he said that along each of our life journeys we need the “help of a companion on the way.” With mind, body, and spirit in mind, we work and collaborate to support students holistically by connecting each individual with resources that will help them be successful in their time at Gonzaga University. If you or someone you know may need some extra support, the Center for Cura Personalis is a great place to start!
