The instructions vary, depending on what class your student is enrolled in.
If your student is Observing (EDCI 231):
- Sign in to TaskStream (Go to http://www.taskstream.com/ and use your username and password to log in).
- Look for the "Host Teacher Evaluation - Observation" portfolio under the "My Programs/DRFs" heading on the main page. (If you do not see this, call or e-mail Dr. Lee Nickles.)
- Click on the "Evaluate" link in this row.
- In the box that says "Enter Name:" type in your student's name and click the yellow "Search" button. (Note: you can type in any part of the student's name; e.g., first name only, last name only, first few letters of the last name, etc.)
- If there is more than one student matching your search, you may have to select your student from a list. The webpage will present a list and you can then click on the name of your student
- Once the student is selected, their name appears in green under the search box after "Selected individual:"
- Click the circle beside "Evaluation (EDCI 231) " and click the yellow “Continue” button.
- You should see the student's name followed by a column with the heading "Evaluation" (Note: Ignore the "No Submission Required" message - this is a message to the students that they do not submit anything here.)
- Next, click on the yellow “Evaluate” button under "Evaluate Here."
- Click the green “Evaluate/Score work” button. A new window will appear.
- Fill out the blanks in the form.
- Finally, rate whether you believe your student meets the requirements overall for these criteria by "Meets requirements or "Does not meet requirements." (The vast majority of students meet the requirements.)
- For the last option under the green headers, select "Record as final and release evaluation to author now."
- Click the yellow “Submit” button.
- Done!
