The Teacher Intern Assessment Instrument (TIAI), an assessment of the teacher intern’s performance, is based on ten standards developed by the Interstate New Teacher Assessment and Support Consortium (INTASC). The classroom mentor teacher and university supervisor share responsibility for assessment of the teacher intern. The classroom mentor teacher’s role is critical to the performance assessment of the teacher intern.
The TIAI indicators are incorporated into five domains:
- Planning and Preparation
- Assessment
- Instruction
- Learning Environment
- Professional Responsibilities
The TIAI consists of 25 indicators with individualized rubrics for each indicator. Each rubric includes the following four levels:
- Exceeds Standard (3 points)
- Meets Standard (2 points)
- Needs Improvement (1 point)
- Unacceptable (0 points)
Each item on the TIAI will be assessed and scored using the rubric for that item.
