Cooperating Teacher Training

Welcome!

Thank you for accepting a teacher candidate into your classroom community for student teaching. The experience candidates receive in real classrooms is valuable beyond measure.

We know that it is no small task to have a teacher candidate in your classroom and we greatly appreciate the opportunity a new teacher will have to learn from you.

It is our expectation that the teacher candidate working with you will be an asset to you and your students. The candidates we send into student teaching experiences are ready and excited to offer their knowledge and skills.

This self-paced training covers strategies for working with Teacher Candidates and expectations for our Cooperating Teachers.

Estimated time to complete: 60 – 90 minutes
