ATP Professional Expectations and Competencies
Students are expected to demonstrate the following behaviors related to professional disposition while
participating in classes, as teacher candidates in the schools and in interactions with peers, faculty, or
staff. If competencies concerns arise, students will be expected to meet with faculty members to discuss
the issue to develop remediation plan if appropriate.
Teacher candidates will not be graded directly on competency indicators unless faculty or staff identifies
major concerns. However, grades in courses are often indirectly impacted by competencies issues. As a
