Practicum observations are conducted throughout the academic year and students complete practicum evaluations at the end of each semester. At the end of their junior year students complete a comprehensive evaluation of their special education courses and practica. At the end of fall semester all Student Teaching Portfolios are copied and sorted into programs. Faculty are divided into groups of two or three. Each group reviews one area of the student teaching portfolio across programs. They describe problems and offer recommendations for revising the student teaching handbook and/or supervisor training. The recommendations are implemented during the following academic year.
