Abstract
The university supervisor’s role is to evaluate student teachers during the field experience process. The processes for onboarding and evaluation of university supervisors vary widely at universities in the United States but are determined, in part, by the data collection requirements of the programmatic accreditation process. An interview study was done to show how different schools are onboarding and evaluating their university supervisors and collecting evaluation data for AAQEP as the programmatic accreditor. The overarching research question is: RQ1: What is the process for onboarding and evaluating university supervisors, if any is used? The study's results indicate that AAQEP does not require institutions to submit evaluation data for university supervisors but instead relies on qualifications and in-person interviews during site visits. Given the potential impact of the university supervisor role, recommendations are given for both onboarding and evaluation processes. Critical friend groups are discussed as an alternative to traditional evaluation.
