THE TEACHING PERFORMANCE CENTER


The mission of the Teaching Performance Center of Kean University is to facilitate systematic and ongoing communication between teacher preparation programs and the partnership schools/agencies in which pre-service educators are placed. The purposes of the TPC are to:

  1. Communicate within the university and to the larger community the centrality of field experience to the preparation of effective teachers.
  2. Develop and maintain collaborative partnerships with P-12 schools and agencies, which enhance teacher preparation.
  3. Provide students opportunities to meet and/or exceed the requirements of field experiences through diverse, high quality, clinical placements and the supportive teamwork of the student teacher, cooperating teacher and university supervisor.
  4. Provide professional development opportunities to educational partners of Kean University including cooperating teachers.
  5. Record and manage data for the assessment of student eligibility and progress throughout field experience sequences.
  6. Integrate the use of technology in all processes and procedures of field placement for the benefit of students, faculty and P-12 schools and agencies.
  7. Implement NCATE Standard 3 Field Experiences and Clinical Practice.
