The Clinical Competency Inventory is a performance-based formative and summative assessment instrument used to formally evaluate and provide feedback to teacher candidates (also referred to as clinical interns) on overall performance, to date. The Clinical Competency Inventory (CCI) is used by both clinical supervisors and cooperating teachers during Clinical Practice II. It is closely aligned with the Observation and Conference Report (O&C) and helps determine if teacher candidates are meeting the appropriate performance benchmarks during CP2 or if further support is necessary.

Clinical Practice I (Sep. 2021):
- At the start of the year-long Clinical Practice internship, clinical interns must conduct an initial pre-assessment/self-evaluation by completing the CCI. This will help guide the intern’s goals and progress.

Clinical Practice II (Feb. and April 2022):
- At the midpoint of CP2 (mid-/late February), clinical supervisors and cooperating teachers must complete the CCI independently (formative assessment). They are to hold a joint midpoint conference with the clinical intern to discuss their CCI ratings and comments.
- At the completion of the internship (late April/early May), clinical supervisors and cooperating teachers must complete the CCI independently (summative assessment). They are to hold a joint final conference with the clinical intern to discuss their final CCI ratings and comments.
- At the very end of Clinical Practice II, clinical interns must conduct a final post-assessment/self-evaluation by completing the CCI. This will help guide the intern’s future goals and progress.

It may be helpful to review a hard copy of the CCI before completing this digital form.
