Time Logs

All students participating in practicum must record their hours within SL&L. Hours logged within the system will need to be approved by their site supervisor(s) to be counted towards the hours needed to become licensed. The hours needed for licensing vary based on the program and course enrolled.

Evaluations

At the end of every semester there is an evaluation that the site supervisor completes and is available approximately one month prior to the end of the classes for a given semester. Fall evaluations open by Nov. 5 and are due by Dec. 5. Spring evaluations open by April 5 and are due by May 5. Failure for the site to complete the evaluation of their student intern could result in the student not passing or receiving an incomplete for that semester.

At the conclusion of either program students will have a program exit survey to complete as well as other evaluations pertaining to the student's experience.

Key/CSWE Assessments

The BSW program has a few Key Assessments completed during practicum that are required by CSWE to maintain our accreditation that need to be completed during the student's practicum experience. Your site liaison/NEIU instructor will provide you details of these during your field seminar.

How-To Guides

The how-to guides below are to assist site supervisors (non-NEIU employees).

Support Matrix

All support of the BSW and MSW program students and site supervisors should start with the liaison/university supervisor. If needed, they will escalate the concern to the next level when appropriate.

Clinical & Student Teaching /academics/assessment/practicuminternships-clinical-student-teaching/clinical-student-teaching Clinical & Student Teaching Kenny Beyer Fri, 12/15/2023 - 15:00

Students enrolled in an initial teacher preparation program will have at least one clinical experience and one student teaching experience. Clinical experiences vary on the required number of hours in the classroom as well as actual number (one or two) of clinical experience courses.

When in doubt, the university supervisor should be first person to address your questions or concerns no matter if you are a student or cooperating teacher.

Clinical Experiences

Clinical Student Responsibilities

The clinical student responsibilities within SL&L is primarily related to time logs.

Time Logs

Students must log all activities completed during clinicals within the appropriate course in SL&L. The logging of hours is directly correlated to your ability to be licensed upon completion of your student teaching course. These hours must be recorded within SL&L so that there is an easy way to generate state and programmatic reports.

Submitting the Schedule file

Each clinical course requires a student to complete a schedule file using the required template to document the days and times they intend to be in person in their clinical classroom. Students, cooperating teachers, and university supervisors must sign this form. After all three roles have signed the form then a scanned copy must be uploaded to SL&L.

Reviewing the PreCPAST

After approximately 10 weeks into your clinical experience, the cooperating teacher and university supervisor will complete the PreCPAST to assess the candidate's pedagogical and dispositional characteristics in order to progress to the next step. Students are responsible for acknowledging they have read and reviewed the feedback provided by each role. 

Completing Key/CAEP Assessments

Depending on the program and its needs there might be an additional assignment that is required to be completed in order to meet program or CAEP needs. If you students have questions regarding this assessment, please contact your university supervisor.

Completing the EDA (Educational Dispositional Assessment)

The GCOE is implementing the EDA instrument to assess 9 key dispositions of a future educator.  This assessment is completed in all clinical and student teaching courses at the end of the semester and has an optional pre-assessment which can be completed around the midpoint of the semester. 

University Supervisor Responsibilities

The university supervisor responsibilities within SL&L are divided into three activities

Reviewing Time Logs

University supervisors need to monitor time logs within SL&L ensuring each candidate is on track to meeting the hour requirement for this clinical experience. The university supervisor ensures the cooperating teacher is approving time logs in a timely manner. Occasionally the university supervisor might need to approve a few entries.

Completing and Reviewing the PreCPAST

The university supervisor will complete the PreCPAST as well as review the completed cooperating teacher's completed PreCPAST during the clinical experience. The PreCPAST will be available about 10 weeks into the semester.

Completing Observation Forms

The university supervisor will complete the programmatic observation form within SL&L for record-keeping purposes.

This practicum/internship and clinical and student teaching page is meant to assist external constituents (cooperating teachers, site supervisor, mentors, etc) as well as NEIU users (university supervisor and students).

NEIU utilizes Student Learning and Licensure (commonly referred to as SL&L) for managing its practicum and internship experiences.

Some basic information that applies to all the areas is listed below.

Accessing Student learning & licensure (SL&L)

University Students

Students access SL&L by using the link found in their D2L course within a module in the Content section. This link will allow them to complete all required program activities such as logging time, completing and reviewing evaluations completed by others, and submitting key assessments. Do not use the NEIUport link as a student.

University Supervisors (employed by NEIU)

University supervisors can access SL&L by using the D2L similar to your students, or you can access as well through the button within NEIUport called Watermark, then Student Learning and Licensure tile from Navigator screen. Once within the SL&L course you will be able review time log entries, approve time entries, complete and review evaluations and assess key assessments.

External Constituents (non-NEIU employees)

As previously stated, an external constituent has various titles including (but not limited to) cooperating teacher, mentor, site supervisor, etc. Access for external individuals is provided via automatic system generated email from no-reply@watermarkinsighs.com. This email must be saved as it will be referenced or utilized the entire semester.

Program-Specific Information

To learn the specifics details (e.g. due dates) and needs (e.g. time logs) of SL&L for each program visit the sub pages found on the left navigation bar.

Course-Based Assessment /academics/assessment/course-based-assessment Course-Based Assessment Kenny Beyer Tue, 08/22/2023 - 22:31

Student Learning and Licensure (SL&L)

Starting in Fall 2022, NEIU will begin the transition from using Tk20 for course-based assessment to Student Learning and Licensure (SL&L). This transition should conclude by Summer 2023, which means that as of Fall 2023, Tk20 will no longer be used for course-based assessment.

Embedded course-based assessment is one of the easiest ways to collect and analyze data for program assessment. As a program, you decide the course(s) and provide a rubric to the NEIU Administrative Assessment Team via assessment-assistance@neiu.edu. Once the everything is set up, you can have it embedded in your D2L course shell or just work with it within SL&L.

Faculty Portfolios /academics/assessment/faculty-portfolios Faculty Portfolios Kenny Beyer Tue, 08/22/2023 - 21:32

Faculty Success by Watermark will be utilized by faculty to build their portfolios. Tenure track faculty new to Northeastern, in their first, second, third and fourth years, as well as those for Full Professor or Professional Advancement Increase will be required to use Faculty Success. 

Faculty Success has two modules to streamline the process.

The first module is called Faculty Success Accomplishments, which will allow faculty to build their accomplishments continually without having to wait for a 'portfolio' or 'template' to be set up each year. Benefits of using this tool include:

  • No more tables that have to be manually created
  • Courses will be auto-populated by Faculty Success admins
  • Course Evaluation Results (with those with seven or more students) will be auto-populated at the end of each semester
  • All information is entered using a form-like tool similar to a Google Form

The second module is called Faculty Success RPT (Reviews, Promotion and Tenure) module. This module is deployed to a subset of faculty who are pursuing promotion, tenure or to be retained. This module is what opens the process for writing narratives for each area, teaching, research and service.

  • A Faculty Success Accomplishments by Watermark.
  • One of the helpful tools that is Curriculum Vitae Importer Tool which allows you to upload your Word CV to help build your portfolio. A and of this process can be reviewed. This is not a requirement.
  • Your research publications can be imported from a BibTex file that various external applications can generate, e.g. Google Scholar, EndNote, RefWorks, etc. and that can reviewed.

NEIU Processes and Technology Guides

Support matrix

  • Faculty needing assistance in using the tool can email ctl@neiu.edu or view this .
  • Reviewers (Departmental Personnel Committees, Department Chairs, Deans and University Personnel Committees) can email assesssment-assistance@neiu.edu.

Submission Tips

  • If you are using links in one of your narratives (teaching, research or service) make sure it opens in a new tab or window. This means moving the slider bar when using the Insert Link option. You can check this after submitting. You have the ability to recall your portfolio and make this correction until the official deadline.
     
  • If you are linking in your narrative, the links should come from items you already uploaded to the your annual activity report originally as the rule; only a few exceptions apply.
     
  • Refresh your Annual Activity prior to Submitting to the DPC. The refreshing of your annual activity report will then show a current date stamp and guarantee all your documentation is visible to review it. 
     
  • If you are required to have tables in narrative sections you can sometimes make them in MS Word first and copy and paste into Faculty Success; however, verify formatting and other features when pasting. Remember to check the look and feel after submitting.
     
  • Documentation is key. Keep documentation of all activities that you need to get credit for doing those activities, e.g. service work, research activities and instructional material examples.

Training Schedule

During these first first two years of implementing this application there will be numerous trainings that will be conducted for those faculty working within the application as well as all the different stages of reviewers to be knowledgeable in the system. Zoom links will be provided via Nmail calendar invitations based on individuals who are directly effected by this change, e.g. if you are first- or second-year faculty member you will get a Zoom invitation for that session.

Please attempt to RSVP to Nmail calendar invitations so we can determine participation. All sessions will be conducted via Zoom. Each session will be remain open for 15 minutes; however, if no one joins the session will be concluded for the day.
