Initial Candidate Transition Points Documents

Overview

EPP faculty have identified and mapped candidate transition points per program. Transition

points are defined opportunities to monitor candidate progress and are preset data collection

points. CAEP and program assessments as well as other progression criteria are named in each

document. Transition Points documents include the following for each transition point as

applicable:

• Required GPA’s

• Testing to be completed

• Required experiences

• General Education, Teaching field, and professional credits required

• Dispositions assessments

• Field experience evaluations

• Additional program key assessments

Description of Transition Points Transition Point 1

At Transition Point 1, candidates apply for admission to a teacher education program. Candidates

at this point must complete a formal application providing critical information to advisors and

the Admission team (A-Team). The application serves as written notice of intent to pursue a

degree in teacher education. Candidates must also have satisfactorily completed all prerequisite

courses designated for their specific program of study. Program advisors confirm that the courses

are completed and present this information to the A-Team team at the admissions meeting.

Candidates are scheduled for an admission interview with a faculty panel. A common interview

protocol is used to gain additional information about the candidate including prior experience

with P-12 students and insight into desired professional dispositions. In all certification

programs, candidate dispositions will have been assessed using the EDA instrument. This

dispositions evaluation adds to the candidate admission portfolio for review. Candidate GPA

must meet the minimum EPP criteria of 2.75.

Candidates are encouraged to have taken the PRAXIS Core test at this point but, based on state

regulations, candidates have until prior to the final internship to pass this licensing requirement.

Because of the importance of professional dispositions and confidentiality in the profession,

candidates are required at this time to have participated in an orientation session where the

Professional Responsibilities document created by the EPP is reviewed and signed as a

commitment to uphold the behaviors set forth. All candidates for admission must have applied

for and received a clear criminal background check. At a scheduled time each semester,

candidates who are eligible for admission to a teacher certification program are presented to the

A- team for consideration. The A- team is comprised of representatives from each initial

certification program, the clinical director, the certification officer/undergraduate advisor,

department chairs, and the graduate admissions officer. Candidates who meet all criteria for

admission are unconditionally admitted. If a candidate has a deficit in an area that can be

corrected or resolved within one semester, the team will admit the candidate

conditionally. A candidate who is admitted with conditions will be placed on an action plan for

progress monitoring and assigned to a faculty member for follow up. All candidates will be

notified by email of their admission status within the established time frame.

Transition Point 2

Mid-program monitoring is in place for all teacher education candidates at the EPP. At this point,

candidates will have been placed in a field experience with Level 2 expectations. The evaluation

rubric for this clinical experience is more comprehensive and includes, in addition to the Level 1

professional expectations, developing teaching behaviors expected at this phase. The Level 2

clinical experience evaluation instrument is the first formal assessment of a candidate’s ability to

apply their knowledge and understanding of the College and Career Ready Standards

(CCRS). In the rubric row 1, for example, candidates are assessed on their ability to write

objectives that are appropriately connected to the CCRS. Assessment of technology integration

begins at this level as well. Candidates are evaluated on their ability to integrate technology into

instructional activities and engage students in the use of technology beginning at Level 2.

Content knowledge is assessed beginning with the Level 2 field experience. Candidate ability to

provide learning experiences allowing P-12 students to form connections between subject areas

and other disciplines is evaluated. The EDA instrument is used to again evaluate professional

dispositions. During this phase of preparation, all candidates must demonstrate evidence of their

developing professionalism, and use of content knowledge and pedagogical skills.

GPA is monitored each term by program advisors. To move forward in a teacher education

program, a candidate must maintain the required GPA. Career counseling is ongoing and if it is

in the best interest of a candidate to change to another major or defer for a time period,

a candidate will be advised to do so. Deferring may be an option particularly if a course will not

be offered until the following year as is often in cohort model programs. Candidates can choose

to repeat the course at next offering or apply their coursework to a major that does not require the

GPA minimum in order to avoid delay in graduation. At any time in a candidate's program, an

action plan may be initiated to provide support in any area where a deficit is indicated. An

action plan is enacted and monitored through the A team.

Advisors encourage candidates at this point in their program to at least be in process of taking

required PRAXIS subtests for their program. Recommendation for certification follows

graduation and passing of PRAXIS content subtests are not consequential to completion of the

teacher education program. It is important to note, however, that the certification officer

cannot submit a recommendation for state licensure for the candidate until all required PRAXIS

content subtests are passed as this is a condition for recommendation for certification.

Transition Point 3

The final monitoring point is at clinical internship at the end of their program. At this point,

dispositions will be assessed for at least the third time. The expectation is that candidates will not

have any areas of significant deficiency regarding professional behaviors. Because of close

monitoring, scaffolding offered throughout the program of study, most candidates have already

resolved any outstanding concerns.
