Recommendations Related to Standard 3
Some recommendations have already been incorporated under earlier standards, especially under Standard 1. Based on the information presented here, these points merit further attention in relation to Standard 3.
- At the Initial level, examine ways to bring school faculty into even greater partnership with the unit in designing and implementing field experiences.
- At the Advanced level, articulate clear guidelines to ensure that practicum candidates participate in comparable clinical experiences. The effort could be modeled after the ED 695 task force efforts to establish common guidelines and understandings despite a wide variety of programs.
- At both levels, build upon the strong foundation already established for international and out of state programs so that more candidates can participate in diverse experiences not always available in West Michigan and Northern Michigan.
Across the unit, the 16 individual Program Reports contain more detailed analyses and recommendations for program improvements. (Complete reports are available in the on-site exhibit room.)
Summary
This section addressed candidate preparation within the context of field and clinical practice. The College of Education values collaboration with school faculty, sufficient time for candidates to develop proficiencies, and opportunities for candidates to reflect on and strengthen their growth as professionals. In the next section, Standard 4, we will examine candidate preparation within the context of diverse experiences and diverse populations.
