I worked on this framework project with my colleagues across the university. We plan to add indicators for each standard that address program-specific expectations and a more micro-level of CRSE Competencies. Students will learn about these standards throughout the courses in their programs and be equipped to perform/demonstrate these standards when they are in the field. Supervisors and instructors will continuously and consistently support students and mentors with implementation.

“I did not revise a course per se, as did many others in the community of practice, but I revised our Teacher Education Performance Framework and the teacher candidate assessment that goes along with it. These templates are used throughout the Curriculum and Instruction programs (Elementary and Early Childhood Education, Middle Level Education, Secondary Education, and World Language Education) at Penn State (on each campus that offers the programs).”
