ADEPT for Teacher Candidates

Student teaching is the capstone ADEPT experience

for teacher candidates.

Teacher candidates are in the pre-SAFE-T stage of their

careers.

Teacher candidates must be assisted and evaluated

relative to all ADEPT Performance Standards.

Teacher candidates must receive formative assistance and summative evaluations from both university and P-

12 school faculty during student teaching.

how to use student information to inform instructional planning;

the curriculum; the types of assessments that are

required; how to align the curriculum, instruction,

and assessments; and how to analyze and use the results of
