| Summary: | The 56 directing teachers for the teacher training program, spring 1994 session, at the University of North Florida provided feedback on this preservice preparation program through a survey. The four-part questionnaire required them to evaluate the program, internship procedures, and materials, and their supervisory competencies through Likert-type scales and open-ended questions. Most, though they had not taken any formal training in supervision, had previously supervised an intern and had more than 3 years of teaching experience. The results of the evaluation were very positive. About 90 percent of the directing teachers agreed that the interns had a good background in methods and used correct grammar. Slightly less (88 percent) felt that the interns had a good background in the content they taught. All agreed that it was personally rewarding to be a directing teacher and all but one felt that through the experience they would become better teachers themselves. Some participants had suggestions for improving the program including giving pre-interns and interns more than one placement with emphasis on direct experiences rather than observation; giving students more experience with diverse groups, and having a multicultural component in the program. An appendix presents numerical data from the study and responses to the open-ended questions. The survey questions are included. (JB) |
