The Early Field Experiences Assessment Form is used to assess student performance in the field site. The form is filled out by the pre-service teacher's mentor and contains the following identifying information:

• Field experience course (either C I 295A or C I 295B)
• Name of pre-service teacher
• Semester of field experience
• School/Center
• Mentor name
• Supervisor

The student is rated based on their performance in six tasks:

1. The pre-service teacher arrives at the field experience site punctually.
2. The pre-service teacher carries out assigned tasks dependably and willingly.
3. The pre-service teacher maintains an appropriate personal appearance.
4. The pre-service teacher interacts positively, tactfully and professionally with mentor, colleagues, parents, students, and others.
5. The pre-service teacher treats information about students, colleagues and the school confidentially.
6. The pre-service teacher seems interested in learning and takes advantage of learning opportunities.

These ratings should be delivered on the following scale:

• Consistently -- The pre-service teacher’s performance always or almost always matches or exceeds the description.
• Often – The pre-service teacher’s performance on this standard matches or exceeds the description most of the time but falls below now and then
• Sometimes -- The pre-service teacher’s performance on this standard matches or exceeds the description about half or a little more than half of the time
• Rarely -- The pre-service teacher’s performance on this standard fails to match or exceed the description more than half of the time
