Dispositions Assessment (Values & Attitudes)

Teacher candidates are expected to demonstrate behaviors related to professional disposition (values and attitudes) while participating in classes and in interactions with peers, faculty, or staff. If dispositional concerns arise, the concern will be formally submitted to the Teacher Education Department by the faculty member for resolution by the candidate.

Teacher candidates will not be graded directly on disposition indicators unless faculty or staff identify major concerns. However, grades in courses are often indirectly impacted by disposition issues. As a proactive, self-reflective exercise, teacher candidates are encouraged to complete a self-evaluation using a checklist and to establish goals in those areas in which they feel they may not yet be strong.
