5 School of Education LETTER FROM THE DEAN Teacher Candidates: The teacher preparation programs at Middle Georgia State College are field-based programs where teacher candidates do far more than reading and hearing about schools prior to their field experience. After admission to the School of Education, candidates will spend over 900 hours working in diverse school settings prior to their graduation. The benefits of experiencing a variety of school settings, collaborative teachers, and extensive interactions with hundreds of children from diverse populations are numerous. Teacher candidates draw from each aspect of their experiences to create their own understandings of the demands, challenges, and rewards of teaching. They see various teachers working with children of all ages and abilities in schools that vary in climate, location, and administrative philosophy. The wealth of experiences derived from inquiry and reflection which occurs through interaction with the surrounding school communities as well as practices in pedagogy and technology create a cadre of uniquely prepared teachers who are ready to meet the needs of all students in the 21 st century. Field experiences are a critical requirement of each teacher candidate seeking to become a professional educator. Successful completion of the program requires a team effort including the teacher candidate, the collaborative teacher, and the college supervisor. This handbook is a resource for the clinical practice team, providing guidelines for each team member and the materials necessary for the teacher candidate to complete the experience. The guidelines and expectations presented reflect the professional judgment of faculty, members of the Teacher Education Council, collaborative teachers, administrators, supervisors, members of Middle Georgia State College, and partner school districts. Policies and procedures cited meet or exceed the standards of the Georgia Department of Education and the Professional Standards Commission. Please contact the School of Education if you have any questions and/or have suggestions for improvement. Dr. David P. Fuller, Dean School of Education Middle Georgia State College School of Education (Revised 1/21/15) 1 P a g e

When a student s cumulative GPA falls below 2.75, the student will be placed on probation within the School of Education. The office of the Dean of the School of Education informs the student and advisors of this action in writing. Placement on probation means that the student is scholastically deficient and is continuing his or her education with the understanding that he or she must improve the level of work and meet the conditions of probation set by the School of Education. Students on probation shall meet with their academic and education advisor to devise a plan of action to be approved by the Dean of the School of Education to include monthly meetings with their academic and education advisor. The term of academic probation is one semester. The student is removed from probation in the School of Education if he or she is making satisfactory progress at the end of the probationary semester. The office of the Dean of the School of Education informs the student and advisors of this action. If a student has not met the terms of satisfactory academic progress at the end of the probationary semester, the student will be dismissed from the School of Education. A student who is dismissed from the School of Education may choose to petition the Dean of the School of Education Middle Georgia State College School of Education (Revised 1/21/15) 14 P a g e

19 SECT Dismissal Policy Failure to meet progression requirements will result in dismissal from the School of Education. A teacher candidate may also be dismissed from the School of Education for disciplinary reasons. Most behavioral concerns can/would be addressed through the Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs of Middle Georgia State College. In addition, students may be dismissed from the School of Education for inappropriate behaviors as outlined in the School of Education student handbook. Behaviors that are grounds for removal from the clinical experiences include, but are not limited to: confidentiality breeches, harassment, absenteeism or tardiness, malpractice/negligence, failure to follow School of Education or clinical site policies and procedures, failure to fulfill responsibilities, or other activities that the supervisor deems unsafe or inappropriate.

It is also a source of evidence for program review, teacher licensure, and/or state and national accreditation. The essential purpose of edtpa is to increase the effectiveness of beginning teachers. The edtpa is designed to be educative to inform program improvement and to inform Induction Programs by providing targeted support for new teachers. The edtpa will be one element of the Preparation Program Effectiveness Measures (PPEM). The GaPSC, in collaboration with USDOE and GaDOE, has formed a representative edtpa Policy and Implementation Advisory Committee for the purpose of informing policy and practice to help providers effectively implement the edtpa. Following are examples of national policy, pending state policy, and decisions that need to be made regarding the edtpa. Current National Policy edtpa is a national assessment program, which is not customized for each state. The following are highlights of national edtpa policy. Scoring: o o o o o A candidate will be able to designate one local EPP faculty member to view and provide feedback after the edtpa has been uploaded and before it has been submitted for official scoring. edtpa portfolios will be scored by trained and calibrated scorers, selected based on their experience with candidates who wish to become teachers and their content knowledge and pedagogical expertise. ES will provide scores for each of the 15 rubrics on a scale from 1 to 5, as well as a score for each of the three tasks. The overall score reflects the total of the scores on the 15 rubrics. The summative score of the 15 rubrics will be reported on a scale of 15 to 75. At present, a national passing cut score has not been set. Candidates will receive an individual score report from ES that will include the score obtained on each of the edtpa rubrics on each task and a total score Middle Georgia State College School of Education (Revised 1/21/15) 18 P a g e

23 Pricing: o Full-portfolio: The assessment fee for the full portfolio during the two years of this contract is $300, which includes access for 18 months to the edtpa electronic portfolio platform for registration, submission, scoring, and score reporting services. Candidates may retake the entire portfolio and pay the full assessment fee. At the time of contract renewal, the assessment fee may be revised upon mutual agreement of the parties. o Partial-portfolio: Candidates may resubmit one task and pay the single assessment task fee. The assessment fee for retaking one task of the portfolio is $100. CODE OF ETHICS FOR EDUCATORS Effective October 15, THE CODE OF ETHICS FOR EDUCATORS (1) Introduction. The Code of Ethics for Educators defines the professional behavior of educators in Georgia and serves as a guide to ethical conduct. The Professional Standards Commission has adopted standards that represent the conduct generally accepted by the education profession. The code defines unethical conduct justifying disciplinary sanction and provides guidance for protecting the health, safety and general welfare of students and educators, and assuring the citizens of Georgia a degree of accountability within the education profession. (2) Definitions (a) Certificate refers to any teaching, service, or leadership certificate, license, or permit issued by authority of the Professional Standards Commission. (b) Educator is a teacher, school or school system administrator, or other education personnel who holds a certificate issued by the Professional Standards Commission and persons who have applied for but have not yet received a certificate. For the purposes of the Code of Ethics for Educators, educator also refers to paraprofessionals, aides, and substitute teachers. (c) Student is any individual enrolled in the state s public or private schools from preschool through grade 12 or any individual under the age of 18. For the purposes of the Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional Conduct for Educators, the enrollment period for a graduating student ends on August 31 of the year of graduation. (d) Complaint is any written and signed statement from a local board, the state board, or one or more individual residents of this state filed with the Professional Standards Commission alleging that an educator has breached one or more of the standards in the Code of Ethics for Educators. A complaint will be deemed a request to investigate. (e) Revocation is the invalidation of any certificate held by the educator. (f) Denial is the refusal to grant initial certification to an applicant for a certificate. (g) Suspension is the temporary invalidation of any certificate for a period of time specified by the Professional Standards Commission. (h) Reprimand admonishes the certificate holder for his or her conduct. The reprimand cautions that further unethical conduct will lead to a more severe action. (i) Warning warns the certificate holder that his or her conduct is unethical. The warning cautions that further unethical conduct will lead to a more severe action. (j) Monitoring is the quarterly appraisal of the educator s conduct by the Professional Standards Commission through contact with the educator and his or her employer. As a condition of monitoring, an educator may be required to submit a criminal background check (GCIC). The Commission specifies the length of the monitoring period. (k) No Probable Cause is a determination by the Professional Standards Commission that, after a preliminary investigation, either no further action need be taken or no cause exists to recommend disciplinary action Middle Georgia State College School of Education (Revised 1/21/15) 19 P a g e
