Disposition Assessment

Dispositions will be assessed in designated courses using either the short form for courses without field experiences or the long form for courses that include a field experience. When there are concerns with either dispositions or academic performance, the Professional Dispositions/Academic Performance process may apply.

Courses in which dispositions are assessed

The lists of courses below are for newly approved programs being completed by candidates graduating in 2012 or later. Candidates graduating in 2011 should view a list of courses from old program in which dispositions are assessed.

Dispositions will be assessed in the following courses through a course assignment in Livetext. If a course has a field experience (indicated by *), dispositions will also be assessed using a printed form completed by the cooperating teacher.
