During student teaching, teacher candidates will be paired with a Cooperating Teacher in one of our partnered school districts full-time for 14 weeks. The experienced Cooperating Teacher will model teaching practices to the student and provide daily guidance. The student will start by observing their Cooperating Teacher and gradually build up to full-time, solo teaching. Student Teachers will be supported by a University Program Supervisor throughout their student teaching experience.
