Ave Score

The scores are defined in terms of the following levels:

4 Advanced – Shows exceptional attention to detail and intent of the criterion. Meets all of the criteria listed for that component and exceeds some.

3 Proficient – What we expect of all of our preservice teachers by the end of the course. All parts completed with no major problems and only one or two minor problems.

2 Basic – Minimal level to pass the course (below average). Missing or major problem with one element or criterion, or three or more minor problems.

1 Novice – What we might expect of preservice teachers entering the program. Missing or major problem with two or more elements or criteria
