Standard 1: Content and Pedagogical Knowledge
The UPRP EPP aligns all course syllabi, rubrics, and evaluation instruments with the ten candidate proficiencies established in its conceptual framework (see UPRP Conceptual Framework). These proficiencies align with the InTASC 2013 Standards, the CAEP Standards, the Puerto Rico Professional Standards for Teachers (PR-PST), the ISTE Standards, and the UPRP Student Learning Outcomes (see 1.1.1a, 1.1.1b, 1.1.1c and 1.1.2 for alignments). The principle EPP evaluations that show UPRP teacher candidates meet or exceed criteria based on the InTASC standards are the Formative Evaluation Instrument [FEI] (see 1.1.2a FEI old instrument and 1.1.2b FEI revised instrument) and the Teacher Candidate Work Sample[TCWS] (see 1.1.2d TCWS old instrument and 1.1.2e revised instrument). These instruments are applied during Clinical Practice. See 1.1.2c (FEI) and 1.1.2f (TCWS) appendixes for overall performance levels in the four InTASC categories. The data for these instruments is provided for the last three semesters.
