MEES Summative Assessment Form

Drury University > School of Education & Child Development > MEES Summative Assessment Form

MEES Summative Assessment Directions:

Teacher Candidates (Student Teachers) will be scored based on a 0-4 scale and assessed by both the Cooperating Teacher and University Supervisor. The scores of the Cooperating Teacher and University Supervisor are equally weighted and reported during the certification recommendation process. Below are the scoring descriptors:

0 – The Teacher Candidate does not possess the necessary knowledge, therefore, the standard is not evident or is incorrect in performance.

1 – The Teacher Candidate can articulate the necessary knowledge, but does not demonstrate in performance.

2 – The Teacher Candidate can articulate the necessary knowledge and demonstrates in performance with some success.

3 – The Teacher Candidate can articulate the necessary knowledge and effectively demonstrates in performance.

4 – The Teacher Candidate adapts and develops the lesson according to the teaching environment/student response.

MEES Teacher Candidate Rubric Scoring Protocols: The mean of all indicator scores in a standard is the score for the entire standard.

An evaluator will assign scores for each of the quality indicators for each standard.
Each quality indicator should be scored independently based solely on the evidence available.
If a particular strand within a standard is not observable, score the standard based on the evidence available.
If a Teacher Candidate has two cooperating teachers with time equally split between them, the scores for the standard will be averaged by the University. For other lengths of placements, please consult your University.
Scores are reported to one (1) decimal.
Each University may require artifacts to support scoring.
A final overall mean score will be calculated.
