    For Students: Confirming Field Experience Placements

    After you have signed up for a field experience placement and confirmed that placement with your host teacher, you MUST enter the details of the placement in Tk20. Here are the steps once you’ve purchased your account, logged in, and changed your password.

    1. Click on the Applications tab at the top of the page.
    2. On the left hand navigation bar, click on Create.
    3. On the right hand drop-down box, choose “Field Experience Confirmation Form Semester Year“
    4. Complete the form — do ONE form for each course and each host teacher. If you are taking more than one course (or are doing a field experience with more than one teacher), we’d like you to do TWO applications even if you are using the same field experience for both courses.
    5. For the table you complete about your field experience days and times, you are to fill out the days of the week and times each week that you are in the schools.
      1. So, “Days of Field Experience” should be the day(s) of the week you are there.
      2. “Start Time” and “End Time” should be the time you get there to the time you leave.
      3. You can click “add new” to add a row. You can add more rows than 1 if you need to.
    6. When you are done, click on SUBMIT, and that will send it to Sue. You can also SAVE it if you need to work on it at a later date. Remember that SAVE will not submit it to Sue.

    For Students: Applying to the Teacher Education Program

    In order to pursue a teaching license at St. Olaf College, you must first be admitted to the Teacher Education program. This is generall completed while you are enrolled in ED 290. Here are the steps once you’ve purchased your account, logged in, and changed your password.

    1. Click on the Applications tab at the top of the page.
    2. On the left hand navigation bar, click on Create. 
    3. Select the application type Teacher Education Application — Part 1.
    4. Complete all fields in this application.
      1. You will be asked to upload a Personal Statement. Please answer the questions listed in Tk20 in a 1-2 page, double-spaced word document to upload.
      2. Assess yourself on the Dispositions — please answer honestly; we are looking for reflective students who accurately assess their strengths and weakesses. Only choose “3” if that is really your area of strength.
    5. When you are done, click on SUBMIT and you will be ready for your meetings with faculty. You can also SAVE it if you need to work on it at a later date. Remember that SAVE will not submit it.
    6. After completing Part 1, you will need to meet with Content Faculty (that list is in Tk20 at the bottom of the application). Once you’ve met with that faculty member, you can call Jo (x3245) to make an appointment with an Education Faculty member to complete Part 2; allow 45 minutes. If your Content Faculty is the same as the Education Department Faculty member, you will only need to meet once. You should bring any course schedule you planned with your Content Faculty member to the meeting with the Education Department faculty member.
    7. ALL parts of this application process MUST be completed by the deadline outlined in the Education Calendar.

    For Students: Completing Assignments

    Your professors will assign key assessments in each Education class. These key assessments will have standards associated with them.

    2. Use the Artifact Wizard if it is available for your assignment to upload any files or artifacts. Clicking on some assignments will not provide the Artifact Wizard. If that is the case, proceed to step #3.  
    3. Create a new artifact (unless you want to attach an artifact already in your account).
    4. Select the artifact type (for assignments, it will usually be File).
    5. Upload your document (find the file on your computer).
    6. If you need to attach another artifact, click on Next and upload another file.
    7. When you are done, click on SUBMIT, and that will send it to your professor. You can also SAVE it if you need to work on it at a later date. If you don’t click on the SAVE button at the bottom of the page, your work will NOT be saved.

There is a two step process for creating your goal sheet and then attaching it to a field experience binder later in the semester.

    2. Click on the Artifacts tab.
    3. On the left, click Create and select Field Experience Goal Sheet as the artifact type.
    4. Give your artifact a title — use the semester, year, your last name, course number, school. Example: Fall 2013 Campbell ED 246 Greenvale.
    5. Complete one artifact for each placement you are completing. Name them appropriately (by class and placement).
      1. If you have two placements for one class, create two goal sheets: “Fall 2013 Campbell ED 246 Greenvale” and “Fall 2013 Campbell ED 246 Nfield HS”
      2. If you have one placement that is covering two classes, only do ONE goal sheet: “Fall 2013 Campbell ED 246 and 330 Greenvale”
    6. Complete ALL FIELDS in the artifact. If a field has an * in it, your must complete it, or you will not be able to save your goal sheet.
    7. At the bottom of the page, you will enter your hours in a table. Click on the ADD ROW button. List the date of the first time you went to field experience, followed by the number of hours (please record in quarter hours — that is, 2.00 hours, 2.50 hours, 2.25 hours, etc.). Also list a couple of words to describe what you did. Click on ADD ROW to include more hours. When you’ve entered all your hours, calculate the total number of hours and enter it.
    8. Click on SAVE. That will return you to the previous screen where you will see the new Goal Sheet Artifact you created.
    9. You can return to this Goal Sheet any time to keep track of your hours by clicking on the “Artifacts” tab.

    Step 2 — Attaching the Goal Sheet to the Field Experience Binder

    1. WIth three weeks left in the semester, you will get an email from the Director of Assessment that your field experience binder has been sent to you. This means that you can now attach your goal sheet to your field experience binder.
    2. Click on the Field Experience tab. A Pending Task will be labeled with a little red flag. Once the binder has been submitted, the red flag will change to a green checkmark. Click on the link next to the red flag.
    3. Click on Goal Sheet to attach your Goal Sheet artifact. Under the Title column, click on Click here to Attach. You should get an option to attach a current artifact. Select the Goal Sheet artifact that corresponds with this field experience course and attach it.
    4. Click on SAVE. It will tell you that the artifact is attached. Click OK. That will return you to the previous screen. If you have more than one placement, you will upload additional goal sheets similarly.
    5. Click on SUBMIT, and that will send it to your professor. If you don’t click on the SUBMIT button at the bottom of the page, your work will NOT be saved and submitted. Your field experience host teacher will complete an evaluation of your work in his/her classroom; you can see this evaluation by clicking on the link to this field experience.

    Step 3 — Viewing Your Host Teacher’s Evaluation

    1. Click on the Field Experience tab. You will see a list of all the field experiences you have done in Tk20. Click on the one you would like to read.
    2. Click on the Assessment tab at the top of the binder view. You will see links for the Field Experience Host Evaluation and the Goal Sheet Sign-Off. Click on the link for the Evaluation.
    3. If your host teacher completed his/her evaluation of your field experience, you will be able to see their responses. If they did not complete the evaluation, you will see an incomplete evaluation.
    4. When you are finished viewing the evaluation, click Close twice at the bottom of the page.
