Franklin schools include three-year placement agreement with Western Governors University in packet
Summary
Board packet contains a WGU placement agreement outlining mentor-teacher standards, candidate responsibilities, video-recording guidance, and a three-year term for clinical placements and student-teaching partnerships.
The board packet includes a placement agreement between Western Governors University (WGU) and Franklin Community Schools that outlines the responsibilities of both parties for clinical placements, mentor-teacher standards, and video-recording expectations for observation and teacher performance assessment. The agreement defines terms such as 'Candidate,' 'Mentor Teacher,' and 'Clinical Supervisor' and sets expectations for background checks, tuberculosis screening when required, and mentor training.
WGU's agreement describes mutual expectations and lists activities such as recruitment support, mentor training honoraria, and the use of video recordings for evaluations (including edTPA where applicable). The document specifies a three-year term and includes a provision allowing either party to terminate with thirty days’ written notice while allowing candidates in placement to complete student teaching.
