1) Attend all seminars Attendance is required at all seminars. Please notify the instructor(s) if you need to miss due to illness or family emergency.
2) Lesson Plan Cycles [5 x 10 = 50 points]
Teacher residents will complete 5 Lesson Plan Cycles consisting of Pre-Observation Planning, Lesson Implementation, Debrief
with Supervisor and Mentor, and Reflection. Teacher residents should record each lesson observation for discussion and
reflection at the debrief session. Formal lesson observations will be scheduled throughout the semester with the supervisor.
3) Lesson analysis presentation [2 x 5 = 10 points] Each teacher resident will complete two lesson analysis presentations in which they share a lesson video clip (3-5 minutes in
length) and their lesson plan with the group. Residents will analyze their teaching and invite feedback from the group. Residents
will sign up for the sessions in which they want to present.
4) IEP assignment [20 points] Teacher residents will participate in AT LEAST two IEP meetings over the course of the semester. Residents will also complete
one written IEP document which must include present levels of performance and potential (draft) IEP goals. The resident should
administer AT LEAST 3 subtests of a formal assessment or 3 informal assessments with the student in order to prepare the
present levels of performance. The resident must work under the mentor teacher’s guidance to complete the forms well in
advance of the scheduled meeting. (Note: Residents are not permitted to log into the teacher’s account on the IEP management
system.)
5) TPA – Cycle 1 and Cycle 2 [20 points] Residents will complete the Cal TPA Cycle 2 this semester. This assignment is required to earn credit for this course. Residents
will also upload their Cycle 1 TPA into CANVAS for this course. (Note: Cycle 1 and Cycle 2 of the TPA will take the place of the
portfolio that has been traditionally submitted to the department of special education.)
6) Directed Teaching Evaluations (mentor teacher & supervisor) Each teacher resident will submit a final Directed Teaching Evaluation from the supervisor and from the mentor teacher.
7) Disposition Evaluations (mentor teacher and supervisor) Each teacher resident will submit a final Disposition Evaluation from the supervisor and mentor teacher.
Grading Information This is a credit / no credit course. In order to earn credit for this course students must earn at least 80% on each assignment; at least
45 points on the Directed Teaching Evaluation from the University Supervisor and the Mentor Teacher, and a satisfactory Disposition
Evaluation from the University Supervisor and the Mentor Teacher.
Classroom Protocol This is a seminar course in which active participation is expected from students. Students are asked to respect the views of
classmates that may differ from their own and to respect the privacy of students who may be seen in teaching videos.

Education Specialist Teacher Residency Program
Gradual Release (Pacing Guide)
Spring 2021
This document provides details about Resident and Mentor roles in the classroom throughout the semester assuming a virtual classroom. Residents’ adherence to this calendar is part of receiving credit in the field experience course. Supervisors and Mentors
may modify this document as needed. This is a living document that will be updated and revised as COVID-related events occur.
Each week, Residents will: ▪ Attend all synchronous class sessions (including small group led by Mentor and 1:1 conferrals), materials prep sessions,
school/grade level team meetings, and district wide special education meetings except when they have SJSU courses to
attend or are observing other teachers. ▪ Create and submit plans for following week to Mentor based on agreed upon deadline. ▪ Observe Mentor practice and take notes
Each week, Mentors will:
▪ Review Resident lesson plans and provide feedback. ▪ Share lesson plans and resources with Resident. ▪ Observe Resident lessons and provide feedback.
Other requirements: • Over the course of the semester the resident will have five formal observations of their teaching from the university
supervisor in which a detailed lesson plan must be submitted.
• The resident must also attend at least two IEPs (with parent consent). The resident will be responsible for drafting one of
the IEPs under the mentor teacher’s guidance and presenting at least one section of the present levels of performance.
(Remember the resident is not allowed to use the SEIS IEP management system). The university supervisor will observe the
resident’s participation in the IEP to provide feedback (with parent consent).

Virtual Lead Teaching (Solo Week)
When the Resident is Lead Teaching, they have the LEAD role in all classroom activities across the day, with a mix of whole/small group and synchronous/asynchronous instruction. Resident and Mentor Teacher should continue to use multiple forms of Co-Teaching during the Resident’s Solo Teaching Week. The intent is not that all instruction becomes large group led by the Resident. Rather the resident should take the lead in planning for the groups that week, including planning for instructional assistants.
Example daily schedule: o 8:00-8:30 Resident Leads Class Meeting
o 8:30 – 9:00 Mentor and Resident lead own small groups that resident has planned
o 9:00-10:00 Resident Teaches Number Talk and Resident and Mentor teach 2 small groups
that resident has planned
o 10:00-11:00 Asynchronous
Resident collaborates with Mentor to send family communication, review data,
adjust learning targets for individual students as needed
o 11:00-11:30 Resident Leads Read Aloud
o 11:30-12:30 Resident and Mentor Co-Teach small reading groups that resident has planned
● Resident is the lead on planning learning targets and assessment, with support from Mentor as needed to
understand curricular resources and clarify learning objectives. Resident will write detailed lesson advance
of each Lead Teaching Week.
Residency Seminar, EDSE 217A / EDSE 154, Spring, 2021 Page 11 of 20
● Mentor will observe Resident and provide written feedback for each lesson. Mentor will share key things
that went well, and things to consider. Feedback will be discussed at Sacred Meeting Time.
● Resident takes the lead on implementing classroom management strategies. Mentor will step in to
provide support using an agreed-upon protocol (Resident asks Mentor to attend to student or group) or
Mentor determines support is necessary.
● Resident will be in charge of any administrative duties (attendance, etc.), unless Mentor is not able to give
Resident access.
● Resident takes the lead on managing technology, with Mentor support as needed.
● Resident participates in student support meetings (with counselors, special services, disciplinary team, etc.

I have read and understand that the dispositions outlined in the Dispositions Evaluation are required for candidates in the Department of Special Education. I understand that any faculty member or administrative staff may complete a dispositions evaluation at any time. If I received a “no” in the evaluation of one (or more) disposition, the Student Review Committee will discuss the issue and either 1) develop and monitor an improvement plan, or 2) recommend disqualification from the Department of Special Education. If I am recommended for an improvement plan, I understand that I must enact this plan and I do not have the right to appeal the improvement plan. If I am recommended for disqualification, I have the right to appeal the disqualification via a written letter to the Department Chair that will be considered by the Student Review Committee. If my appeal is denied, I will be disqualified from the Department but retain the right to appeal this result via other university appeal processes. If my appeal is approved, I can continue in the Special Education department with an improvement plan.
