Cooperating Teacher
Your relationship with your cooperating teacher is a key factor in your success. Your conscientious efforts will foster mutual respect between professional colleagues. Provide assertive, courteous communication of your own needs, concerns, ideas and preferences. Remember that your cooperating teacher once shared your path as a beginner in this challenging profession.
No two teachers would handle every issue identically. Remember the role that consistency plays in successful classroom management. Please defer to your cooperating teacher teacher’s judgment and preferences for this semester. You will have your own classroom soon! Meanwhile, appreciate your cooperating teacher teacher’s willingness to help you enjoy a successful student teaching experience.
University Field Supervisor
Your field supervisor will be on your campus weekly for observations and conferences. Your field supervisor will provide you with observation schedules for selecting formal observation times. In addition, field supervisors will perform informal observations and notebook checks. In your personal notebook, jot down questions or concerns to discuss with your field supervisor. You may request additional private conferences as needed. You have the right to expect university support!
