Cooperating Teachers
Cooperating teachers serve as a guide and resource for ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø±¬ÍøÕ¾ Teacher Scholars.
Overview
Cooperating teachers maintain professional supervision for the educational process and model a variety of effective teaching strategies and methods in an atmosphere conducive to learning, experimentation, and risk taking.
Mentoring and Resources
The education department at ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø±¬ÍøÕ¾ believes that students learn to be teachers not just in the ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø±¬ÍøÕ¾ classroom, but also by engaging in multiple field placements in area public schools.The culminating field placement, the ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø±¬ÍøÕ¾ Teacher Scholars practicum, allows our students to spend fourteen weeks in a classroom full-time, first observing, then working alongside, and finally assuming responsibility for three of a cooperating teacher's classes.
