SIP Forms
- Standards in Practice (SIP), Reporting and Observation Guidelines
This guide explains the purpose of the SIP and how use of the rubric differs when used to evaluate a Field I or II experience versus evaluation of a Student Teaching placement. - The SIP Rubric is used for evaluation of a teacher candidate during all phases of field experience: Field I, Field II, and Student Teaching. During a Student Teaching placement, the SIP Rubric is used in each observation/evaluation of the teacher candidate and discussed in triad meetings. You can find the SIP Rubric in the Field Experience Handbook.
