Observation and Evaluations. Between week 4 and 12 of the fall semester, each of the three members of the ITRC shall observe the candidate interacting with students two times. Each member of the ITRC will contact the candidate to schedule a day and time for the observation. The candidate must be given at least five (5) days notice prior to the date of observation. Members of the ITRC may not all observe and evaluate the exact same session, but instead must each observe at a different date and time, and ideally, at different times during the day, week, or with different student populations. Prior to each observation the candidate is encouraged to meet briefly with each observer to provide a brief student history, an outline of a presentation, or a presentation handout, and discuss the goals and plans for the student contact.
