The Texas Education Agency has created 2 separate trainings for Field Supervisors of Educator Preparation Programs (EPPs) to meet the requirements of recently adopted Texas Administrative Code (TAC) §228.35 (g) and (h). This section of TAC requires that: “supervision of each candidate shall be conducted with the structured guidance and regular ongoing support of an experienced educator who has been trained as a field supervisor. Supervision provided on or after September 1, 2017, must be provided by a field supervisor who has completed TEA‐approved observation training.”
T-TESS Field Supervisor Coaching Training provides guidelines and instruction for field supervisor support to candidates seeking certification in an area other than classroom teacher, and to those who are participating in practicum experiences through educator preparation programs (EPPs). The training focuses on structures and practices that support candidates’ development with respective certification standards for performance. This training is designed for all field supervisors who support educational diagnostician, master teacher, principal, reading specialist, school counselor, school librarian, and superintendent candidates who have been admitted to an EPP on or after December 27, 2016.
At the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Understand the rationale for the training
- Use the field supervisor observation protocol
- Execute the evaluation cycle: pre-conference, observation, post-conference in EPP contexts
- Practice and simulate collecting evidence relative to certification standards and practices
- Practice and simulate an inquiry-based approach to coaching and supporting candidates Level 1 and 2 field supervisor coaching competencies
- Have access to coaching resources and tools
