    Instructions

    Use the form during observations and documentation reviews to comment on evidence of the teacher
    candidate meeting the standard. Based on the observation and documentation provided, evaluators should
    check the applicable rating. Specific comments must be included to substantiate the rating. Follow the
    directions in the Intern Keys/Candidate Assessment on Performance Standards (CAPS) User Guide for
    completing the assessment.

    ***Standard 9: Professionalism is rated post observation during the conference with the teacher
    candidate. The purpose in evaluating post-observation is to provide the candidate an opportunity to
    demonstrate reflective practice through conversation with the evaluator.

    Assessment Types

    Formative Assessment: The formative assessment is used for a formal observation of an implemented
    lesson in its entirety; all standards are evaluated. Level 4 is not intended for formative assessments of
    teacher candidates and may only be used in the summative assessment. Provide a rationale for the ratings
    by listing evidence observed or comments in the right-hand column of the form. Overall comments may
    be given in the space on the last page.

    Summative Assessment: The summative assessment is the culminating evidence that includes
    walkthroughs, formative assessments, and additional documentation collected during the clinical practice
    of a program. The summative assessment should be based on the teacher candidate’s overall performance
    during clinical practice. Use the preponderance of evidence (formative assessments using Intern
    Keys/CAPS, informal observations, lesson plans, etc.) to determine the teacher candidate’s level of
    performance at the completion of clinical practice. Provide a rationale for the ratings by listing evidence
    observed or comments in the right-hand column of the form. Overall comments may be given in the space
    on the last page.

    Walkthrough: A walk-through is a 10-minute minimum observation. It provides a snapshot of practice
    where a limited number of standards (typically 1-4) are rated. The walkthrough is an announced or
    unannounced observation that is not required or submitted for clinical practice.

    Instructions

    Use the form during observations and documentation reviews to comment on evidence of the teacher
    candidate meeting the standard. Based on the observation and documentation provided, evaluators should
    check the applicable rating. Specific comments must be included to substantiate the rating. Follow the
    directions in the Intern Keys/Candidate Assessment on Performance Standards (CAPS) User Guide for
    completing the assessment.

    ***Standard 9: Professionalism is rated post observation during the conference with the teacher
    candidate. The purpose in evaluating post-observation is to provide the candidate an opportunity to
    demonstrate reflective practice through conversation with the evaluator.

    Assessment Types

    Formative Assessment: The formative assessment is used for a formal observation of an implemented
    lesson in its entirety; all standards are evaluated. Level 4 is not intended for formative assessments of
    teacher candidates and may only be used in the summative assessment. Provide a rationale for the ratings
    by listing evidence observed or comments in the right-hand column of the form. Overall comments may
    be given in the space on the last page.

    Summative Assessment: The summative assessment is the culminating evidence that includes
    walkthroughs, formative assessments, and additional documentation collected during the clinical practice
    of a program. The summative assessment should be based on the teacher candidate’s overall performance
    during clinical practice. Use the preponderance of evidence (formative assessments using Intern
    Keys/CAPS, informal observations, lesson plans, etc.) to determine the teacher candidate’s level of
    performance at the completion of clinical practice. Provide a rationale for the ratings by listing evidence
    observed or comments in the right-hand column of the form. Overall comments may be given in the space
    on the last page.

    Walkthrough: A walk-through is a 10-minute minimum observation. It provides a snapshot of practice
    where a limited number of standards (typically 1-4) are rated. The walkthrough is an announced or
    unannounced observation that is not required or submitted for clinical practice.

    Adopt Flexible Study Schedule for College Students

    Flexible study schedules for college students are linked to positive outcomes in academic performance, support diverse learning needs of learners and reduce stress. Often, students prefer study schedules that align with their learning preferences, energy levels and personal responsibilities, which demands flexibility. Flexibility in study schedules is cognizant of the different student’s external commitments and cognitive rhythms, such as, family responsibility or part-time jobs that could influence effective learning within rigid academic structures (Broadbent & Fuller-Tyszkiewicz, 2018). Flexibility is crucial in the learning environment as it enhances student engagement, learner self-regulation and overall academic performance. Students are able to study at their preferred times when they are mentally alert and focused.

    Positive mental health outcomes and reduced levels of stress among learners are benefits of flexible study schedules. College learners can experience stressors of learning, such as, pressure from meeting deadlines, exams, and juggling between personal commitments and study. For students who struggle with meeting the academic demands, they are likely to experience increased anxiety and burnout (Broadbent & Fuller-Tyszkiewicz, 2018). Academic structures not aligned with learner needs lead to higher stress levels, while flexible structures enable students to balance between study and personal commitments, leading to decreased stress levels (Fischer et al., 2020). It fosters a sense of control over student learning, promoting student confidence, motivation and emotional well-being that correlates with positive academic outcomes.

    Overall, this topic is crucial for college students as most struggle with competing demands to balance study, work and personal life. If they do not achieve this balance, especially with rigid academic structures, they are likely to be experience stress hindering their academic performance. Flexible study schedules have become highly relevant with the increased adoption of blended education and digital learning. Therefore, flexible study schedules are necessary to support inclusive learning by accommodating different learning styles and circumstances of students. They foster improved student engagement, reduced stressors, and overall academic success.
