Continuous Improvement

Focus Area(s):

Focus Area 1: All course instructors of methods courses require submission and review of a lesson plan. Additionally, the instructor gives feedback on the plan and scores the lesson plan. However various methods are used to complete the task. To ensures that candidates are able to apply their knowledge of InTASC standards relating to instructional practice at the appropriate progression levels, focus areas will include: (a) use of the Danielson Lesson plan template by all instructors in all method courses; (b) use of the Danielson rubric to rate all lesson plans and (c) directions given to candidates will be consistent. Data will be analyzed by InTASC standard as well as appropriate content standards.
