Teacher educators should schedule approximately 60 to 90 minutes for the interview procedure, depending on the type of assessment being examined.

 

While a suggested Student Work Sample Interview protocol is included, teacher educators should adapt this protocol flexibly to account for different student grade or developmental levels, content areas, types of assessment tasks, and the variety of language demands represented in the selected work sample.

 

During the interview, the teacher educator facilitates while the P-12 teacher:
 

• Shares a teaching narrative using the gathered artifacts; 

• Conducts a descriptive examination of the individual student work samples;

• Analyzes student learning patterns; and

• Evaluates the student learning patterns for future teaching.
