Teacher Performance Expectations

NEW…

​

July 2024

Earlier this summer, the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC) put into effect a new requirement for all teacher preparation programs in the state.

​

The new requirement was an additional Teaching Performance Expectation (TPE):

​

TPE 7 – Effective Literacy Instruction for All Students.

​

Expectations for TPE 7

• Emphasis on:
• understanding and teaching foundational literacy skills
• the inclusion of literature, language, and comprehension skills
• preparing candidates to understand and implement diagnostic and early intervention techniques
• incorporate concepts and strategies included in the California Dyslexia Guidelines, with the understanding that not all candidates will teach a student with dyslexia

​

Your Role in the TPEs

1. Ensure the candidate has opportunity to practice teaching skills from the TPEs (TPEs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, & 7).
• by incorporating concepts and strategies included in the California Dyslexia Guidelines
2. Ensure the candidate has opportunity to practice engaging in the skills outlined by TPE 6.
3. Ensure there is appropriate feedback in relation to all TPEs. This occurs mostly via the clinical practice forms but it can also be more casual, on a day-to-day basis.

​

Clinical Forms

• Field Observation Forms
• Dispositions Forms
• Mid-Term Dialogue
• Clinical Evaluations
• Individual Development Plan

​

Field Observation Forms

• There will be six (6) of these each semester.
• Should be submitted 48 hours prior to observation.
• Scoring
• Three main areas:
• lesson plan components (written plan, delivery, & reflection)
• alignment with TPE elements
• supervisor comments.

​

• A university supervisor can send a lesson plan back for revision one time before needing to complete the observation form in Watermark. That is, the second submission must be uploaded & scored.
