MEETING SUMMARY FOR MARCH 10, 2011 MEETING
Clinical Experience Advisory Committee
Spring 2011 Meeting 4:30-7:00
March 10 2011
KSU Student Center Conference Suites
1. Welcome and Introductions @ 5:30
2. Transforming Teacher Education Thorough Clinical Practice: Summary and Comments. (This
was sent to you with meeting announcement). How do we actualize shared responsibility? See
discussion questions (ATTACHMENT 1)
The idea of a yearlong placement IN SOME AREAS was still viewed as a possibility by both
Ravenna and Bedford. One thing that was brought up was a place (job board) that districts
could log onto and post what service learning needs they have and then we could see how we
might help in terms of volunteer service or field experience. (E.g. homework helps)
3. The Draft of the Student Teaching Assessment as prepared by KSU Committee for the
purpose of aligning student teaching assessment to the Ohio Standards. (ATTACHMENT 2)
Not much discussion on this other than to make sure it’s valid and has inter- rater reliability.
Liked that it would flow into the residency documentation and terminology.
4. New Ideas on Supervision of Student Teachers:

Students record their lesson presentation and upload to KSU Tube (secure site) for
viewing by a supervisor. Would our students have to bring a camera or could ones be
available? Permission?* (see back of this agenda) The next day, supervisor, cooperating
teacher and student have a SKYPE conference call/video chat to review the lesson.
Supervisor visits in person only for initial meeting, midterm and final. What do you
think of this model?

A Cooperating Teacher Wiki could be established with a discussion option for posting of
information and opportunities for discussion and problem solving. Our tech folks are
looking for an application for this that would be easy to use.
Both Bedford and Ravenna liked having the supervisor physically present for observation and
interaction and not just remotely .Since the meeting, Jim has met with our tech folks who are

researching a platform that would be secure and accessible outside the KSU firewall for
cooperating teachers to use to share ideas on working with student teachers.
5. Revised Professional Disposition Assessment for 2011 and beyond. (ATTACHMENT 3&3a)
We highlighted the consolidation of items and the addition of one relating to social media
and other uses of electronic devices.
6. Placement Outlook for 2011-2012. What are the staffing plans in the districts?
Both districts present are still accepting student teachers for 2011-12 and Bedford would
welcome more KSU students in field or ST if available.
7. Other Items
