Practice Teacher Work Sample (PTWS)


A Teacher Work Sample is a performance assessment in which a teacher or a teacher candidate provides evidence of his or her ability to facilitate learning.

 

What we are doing is Practice Teacher Work Sample so that you develop skills to do TWS, when necessary. Rubrics, directions and requirements are adaptations of work from the Renaissance Partnership for Improving Teacher Quality Project  (http://fp.uni.edu/itq).
