Ongoing Candidate Evaluation

Candidates are evaluated each semester by course professors. Evaluation criteria include successful completion of courses (e.g., timeliness of work, cooperation with peers, quality of academic work) and performance rubrics developed according to the performance objectives approved by Oregon's Teacher Standards and Practices Commission and NCATE. (Instructors address these in class.) Candidates must begin a professional portfolio during the first semester of coursework. The portfolio includes documentation of the following:

• All completed coursework/projects (e.g., an evaluation summary for each course)
• Micro-internships (e.g., academic development and consultation internships)
• Professional organizational membership beginning in the first semester of coursework
• Completion of all prerequisite coursework prior to the final internship
• Completion of all courses (i.e., no outstanding Incompletes prior to the final internship)
• Applicable coursework in the development of a comprehensive school counseling program plan
