Posted by The UMass Tk20 Team in : Artifacts, Field Experience Binders, Students , comments closedArtifacts are used primarily to document the knowledge, skills, and dispositions of candidates in School of Education related programs. Knowing how to create artifacts is necessary to complete and submit assignments, assessments, projects, course binders, portfolios and field experience binders.
Use this guide: Creating Artifacts for instructions and assistance.
Field Experience Binders (FEBs) are a way to organize records of students’ experiences in the field. The Field Experience Office creates field experience binders in collaboration with faculty. They are then sent to students who can attach artifacts, course work, reflections, and standards. Artifacts must be attached so they can be viewed by university supervisors and/or supervising practitioners for assessment.

Completing FEB Assessments April 25, 2011
Posted by The UMass Tk20 Team in : Assessments, Faculty, Field Experience Binders , comments closedVarious assessors (faculty, staff, program coordinators, cooperating teachers, etc.) complete assessments in Field Experience Binders for students after they have submitted their Field Experience Binders. To complete these assessments, follow these steps:
1) Log on to Tk20: https://umass.tk20.com/
2) Click on the “Field Experience” tab.
3) Click “Assessments” on the left-hand side-bar.
4) Click on the name of the student whose assessment you wish to complete (if student names do not appear, see below).
5) On the left is the student’s binder, with materials the School of Education and program require. On the right is/are the assessment instrument(s) to be completed. Click on the name of the Assessment Tool you wish to complete.
6) When you have completed the form click “Save” and then “Submit.” Only hit “Submit” when you have completed the form and are ready to submit it for review.
If student names do not appear under assessments, you may not have assessments to complete under the current term depending on the name of the binder. If so:
1) Below “Field Experience Assessments” note the two tabs “Current Field Experience Assessments” and “Previous Field Experience Assessments.” Click on the “Previous Field Experience Assessments” tab.
2) Select the appropriate term from the drop down menu. Assessments will appear for that term.
3) Follow steps 4-6 above.
If student names still do not appear, you may not be attached to the binder. Contact the Tk20 office.
