Practicum Evaluations: The purpose of UNL clinical field experiences is to bring to life the questions and challenges of learning to teach. The formative nature of professional knowledge is embraced throughout our Teaching, Learning & Teacher Education Elementary Program as revealed through fourteen dimensions of teaching in this instrument. Each practicum (TEAC 297a, 297b, 397a) and student teaching experience (TEAC 497) holds specific goals and advances a particular relationship between theory and practice through associated coursework and program sequencing. Each field experience visits and revisits the common dimensions as students recursively deepen understandings of them as they gradually build proficiency in teaching. Over time, and given room to purposefully integrate these understandings, students increasingly understand the interrelatedness and interdependency of these teaching dimensions.
This assessment is focused on professional growth from the first practicum to student teaching. We do not expect that most students will be considered "Advanced" in most of the categories during TEAC 297a.
