Join us for an informative session on the role of performance gates in teacher preparation. These gates are key stages in a teacher candidate's training, occurring throughout coursework and clinical experiences, where their progress and readiness are assessed against predetermined criteria aligned with a common instructional and professionalism framework, such as T-TESS. Serving as checkpoints, these gates ensure candidates meet specified standards before advancing in their program or receiving additional support. Discover how performance gates assess candidates' knowledge, skills, and dispositions, ensuring they are well-prepared to become effective educators.
