FAST SVP scores confirmed for passing scores -Planning (3), Implementation (3), Reflection (3) (Passed) FAST TSP scores confirmed for passing scores Students in Context (2) Meets Expectation, Learning Outcomes (1), Assessment (2), Design for Instruction (1), Instructional Decision Making (1), Analysis of Student Learning (1), Reflection & Self Evaluation (1) (Failed attempt 1) Two issues emerged when Student 2 attempted the FAST TSP. 1) There were concerns that Student 2 and another Student from FTRP copied each other’s lessons. The MS Coordinator and District Residency Coordinator met to discuss the situation to discover that the lesson plan similarities were due to the district pacing calendar, the fact that they were placed at the same school site and at the same grade level where the Mentors and Residents co-plan units of instruction during PLCs. The MS Coordinator and FAST Coordinator met with Student 2’s clinical coach to discuss and determine that upon close review, there was no cheating involved. And, a plan with FTRP to prevent this issue in the future was developed. 2) Student 2 did not earn a passing score of 2 on each item of the TSP Rubric. Student 2 met with the FAST Coordinator and her coach to review the FAST manual prompts, scoring rubrics and scores. Student 2 was supported by helping her to understand that the TSP is a project that builds upon each section. The FAST Coordinator and clinical coach reviewed the prompts with Student 2 and helped them better understand the expectation within each section of the assessment. Student 2 was rushed to finish her project and overwhelmed with getting a late start with their final student teaching placement in face to face instruction. Student 2 was given an opportunity to revise their TSP and have it rescored. Second TSP attempt- Students in Context (2), Learning Outcomes (2), Assessment (2), Design for Instruction (2), Instructional Decision Making (2), Analysis of Student Learning (2), Reflection & Self Evaluation (2) (Passed attempt 2) Application received on 6/22/21 and processed on 7/6/21.
