Abstract	This conference paper on assessment of the qualities of student teachers in middle schools discusses the concepts of authentic assessment, continuous evaluation, the roles of the cooperating teacher and the university coordinator, and assessment procedures used at the University of Northern Iowa. Eleven categories are presented for use in determining, at mid-term of the student teaching experience, whether a student teacher is meeting the requirements to become an effective teacher. These are: knowledge of content and skills areas, knowledge of learners/learning process, use of instructional planning strategies, use of instructional strategies/teaching styles, use of management and discipline strategies, use of communication strategies, use of assessing/diagnosing/evaluating strategies, use of motivation strategies, use of problem-solving/decision making strategies, use of human relations strategies, and professional characteristics/personal qualities. For the final evaluation, the cooperating teacher assesses the student's skills and competencies, classroom management, areas needing improvement, character and personality, and prediction for success. The certification standards of the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards are outlined. A sample lesson plan for teaching computer and research skills to seventh graders is appended.
