To more nearly relate teaching skills or enabling competencies to the real performance world of the teacher, the Teacher Corps program at Emporia State College proposes that the intern demonstrate teacher competencies through a series of performance projects in each of five performance areas. These performance areas, selected from the real experience world of the intern, are: (1) facilitating the growth and development of individual students; (2) providing instruction and facilitating group processes with a group of students; (3) promoting a positive climate in the school; (4) facilitating school involvement in the community and community involvement in the school; and (5) communicating ideas and experiences to others in the teaching profession. The individual in training contracts for projects and is responsible to the training team for demonstrating that (1) the objectives of the project were achieved and (2) that a systematic learning process was used in planning and implementing the project. The key to the successful completion of a performance project is the Systematic Learning Process Model involving 12 stages: initial search; debriefing and clarifying goals; data collection and initial write-up; strategy development; consideration of skills and resources; final write-up; competency development; project approval; project implementation; project write-up; project evaluation; and sign-off or recycle. Possible performance projects in each of the five areas are illustrated, and some specific comments about performance projects are presented. (MM)
