Please Note:Teacher candidates must satisfactorily complete a minimum of multiple weeks planning, implementing, and evaluating instruction for one or more ELL pupils, supervised by a cooperating teacher who has obtained the ESOL endorsement. A cooperating teacher who is pursuing the endorsement may supervise an FGCU intern. If the teacher candidate does not demonstrate the required ESOL Performance Standards (ESOL PS) by the completion of Blocks 2 & 4 ESOL Field Experience Internship, then the teacher candidate must repeat the experience during her/his final internship. FGCU internship supervisors who are assigned to teacher candidates who must repeat the field experience during their final internship must complete the ESOL training requirement in order to sign this form, if the cooperating teacher is not ESOL endorsed.

Please INITIAL the appropriate box. Sections of this form may be completed by different teachers as applicable during various field experiences. Some standards will be met more than once over the field experiences and should be noted by all teachers involved. This evaluation process begins in Block 2 and continues in Block 4 and 5. During Block 2, the student submits this form to the TSL instructor. The University Supervisor is responsible for submitting the completed form to the program office during Blocks 4 & 5.
