Dispositions The School of Education has an obligation to the teaching profession to maintain high standards for teacher candidates. In addition to meeting academic performance requirements, teacher candidates must also demonstrate attitudes and behaviors that are consistent with professional conduct and effective interactions with PK-12 personnel. Teacher Candidates’ dispositions will be formally evaluated by Teacher Education Program faculty throughout each semester (midterm and final). Under each Disposition heading is a list of example indicators which is intended to provide a sample of the types of behaviors that may be observed for each disposition. This disposition statement is found in all Millicent Atkins School of Education syllabi. *A rating of a 1 or 2 indicates the need for some level of intervention or degree of growth. The rating system which will be used to report performance on each disposition is as follows: 4 – Exceeds Expectations; 3 – Meets Expectations; 2 – Developing; 1 – Unacceptable; O – Not Observed Disposition statements are recorded in the following courses: ARTE 414 K-12 ART METHODS EDFN 102 INTRODUCTION TO EDUCATION EDFN 440 CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT ELED 320 K-8 SCIENCE METHODS ELED 330 K-8 MATH METHODS ELED 360 K-8 SOCIAL SCIENCE METHODS ELED 440 K-8 LANGUAGE ARTS METHODS ELED 450 K-8 READING METHODS ELRN 385 ED TECH & DISTANCE TEACHING EDFN 445 METHODS OF TEACHING ENGLISH TO ENGLISH LEARNERS EPSY 302 EDUCATIONAL PSYCHOLOGY EPSY 428 CHILD AND ADOLESCENT DEVELOPMENT MLED 480 MIDDLE LEVEL METHODS MUS 480 K-12 MUSIC METHODS PE 480 K-12 PE METHODS SEED 400 CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION MIDDLE/SECONDARY SPED 420 K-12 CURRICULUM & INSTRUCTION SPED 432 METHODS AND MATERIALS FOR LD K-12
