Teacher Candidate Work Sample (PDF) This Work Sample is only required for the following majors - elementary, early childhood, library science, modern language, music, and social studies education. It is required as one of the NCATE accreditation assessments.
This form is to be completed at the end of each placement and given to the University Supervisor. The form is used to review one of the student teacher's lesson plans to determine the plan's effectiveness. If applicable, good, fair, and poor examples of pupil work should be attached to show the results of the lesson. This is an exercise for the student teacher to become more aware of their lessons and their involvement with their pupils.
