Addendum Exhibit 6.4.a Partnership Initiative for Student Teaching Committee The University of Texas at Brownsville This spring semester, UTB has established the Partnership Initiative for Student Teaching. This is a joint project between the University and ten selected campuses from the surrounding school districts whose purpose is to engage collaboratively in designing student teacher outcomes. The first phase of this program is to focus on clinical experiences. Phase 2 will include all field-based experiences. An additional aspect of the Partnership is to determine ways in which we can jointly select mentor teachers. In an attempt to design a common vision of the knowledge and skills a successful candidate should possess at the end of his/her practicum, we have begun this project by meeting with the school principals. We identified faculty, and the principals identified mentor teachers who will work closely together during this semester to determine and design experiences for the candidates that reflect our joint vision of a successful student teacher. This will be accomplished by visiting with the selected teachers repeatedly throughout the semester to listen to and to exchange what both the University and the campuses perceive to be necessary knowledge and skills. By the end of this first step, we will have created a document that clearly outlines clinical experiences and evaluation criteria. While such a document is already in place, it was designed solely by University faculty. Through our close collaboration with the campus teachers, we will be able to design a document that reflects the joint vision of both the University and the campuses. This document will guide the design of future field-based experiences, which is Phase 2 of this project.
