Why a Gates System? • To identify early, students who • may fail in their program (remediation) • should not be teachers (counsel to leave program) • To provide accrediting bodies with evidence that our students are ready to teach and meet their standards when they graduate
How does it work? • Three Gates: • Gate 1: Foundations • Gate 2: Methods • Gate 3: Student Teaching • Student Portfolio Assessment • Each Gate is assessed by a Gatekeeper • Each Gate builds on the previous one • Artifacts: • Commented paper • Rubric • Professional Disposition
Who is on the Gates System? • Undergraduate Students • If started after 2008 Summer 8 week 1 • Graduate Students • If started after 2008 Summer 8 week 1ANDLicensure • BUT Not Fastforward and not ECE, Special Ed, or Principal Licensure
Instructor’s Essential Role • Course Artifact(s) and Professional Disposition • Identified in Course Guide • For Each Specific Artifact • Paper should be returned with comments • Rubric filled by instructor • Professional Disposition filled by instructor (at the end of the course)
Interactive Forms • Download interactive forms (from Sharepoint Site—request access to Yvaine) • Fill rubrics & Professional Disposition Forms in Adobe Reader (latest version) • Email forms still interactive to Yvaine (yschulz@regis.edu) • Lock forms and Email them to each individual student (Regis email only)
Scores Impact • Understand the Gatekeeper Forms: • Total Rubric Score no less than 2.57 • Conventions no less than 3 • Criteria aligned to Proficiencies no less than 3 • In danger of failing gate: • Student should rewrite paper (identified in document title as a rewrite) • Student should upload all three: • Original Paper • Original Rubric • Rewritten Paper
