As a student teacher,you must complete a Teacher Work Sample (TWS). The purpose of the TWS is to connect your teaching to the learning of your students. The TWS enables you to document the application of knowledge and skills to teaching and to analyze and reflect upon both the teaching and learning that occurs. Each TWS contains specific segments that are required components, and you are responsible for preparing it as evidence of professional competence. Ultimately, the TWS is reviewed holistically by your student teaching supervisor and is part of your student teaching evaluation.
