The Assessment of Professional Dispositions (APD)

This dispositional assessment is embedded in every course that students take as a part of their licensure program. The dispositional assessment allows faculty, staff and host teachers to provide feedback to students on their growth towards the dispositional attributes needed for success as a teacher. Gathering data in all licensure courses and field experiences allows for multiple data points to inform students' understanding of their dispositional strengths and areas for growth. Additionally, when students enter the field, host teachers are asked to complete the APD in order to provide a field-based perspective on students' emerging dispositions.

Students are encouraged to use task analyses to better understand how to apply the items on the APD.
