The success of this supervised teaching experience depends upon close cooperation among pre-primary through grade twelve teachers and administrators, university personnel, and each student teacher. These cooperative relationships are fostered through the contacts that student teachers, supervising personnel, and administrators
have with one another. Our goal is to assure a successful experience for all participants.

The key person in this experience is the cooperating teacher in the school. This individual brings to life the professional aspects of the teaching experience through a willingness to share expertise with a student teacher, to observe activities planned and introduced by the student, to offer advice regarding effectiveness of teaching and management techniques, and to provide the support that students often need in maintaining their professional and personal well-being during this important period when they are making the transition from student to professional educator.
