Synopsis

This unique and comprehensive handbook is written for cooperating teachers, mentors, college teacher educators, or anyone within the profession who works with student teachers. It serves as a guide to assist cooperating teachers in supporting both those student teachers who arrive for the teaching experience with natural gifts and abilities, and for those who must be carefully guided to reach their full potential. This book does not promote one right way of teaching; rather, it encourages the cooperating teacher to recognize diverse approaches. It can be used as a resource by referring to specific chapters that are most useful or of most interest, or it can be followed chapter by chapter. For supervisors and mentors of student teachers.

About this title

From the Back Cover

Key Benefit: Working with a student teacher is one of the most important aspects of a teacher education program. This guide was written to help cooperating teachers develop a student teaching practicum that contributes to the professional growth and development of everyone involved. Key Topics: This is a complete guide to planning the practicum experience and supervising the student teacher from initial contact to final evaluation, including sample lesson plans, checklists, hints, and practical suggestions. A flexible framework helps the cooperating teacher organize the student teacher's practicum experience, meet program requirements, plan for shared teaching responsibilities, provide constructive feedback and evaluation, and avoid potential pitfalls and misunderstandings. The ideas and suggestions presented here are derived from interviews with cooperating teachers, first year teachers, and college faculty -- in addition to the author's own experience as a cooperating teacher. The result is a practical, down-to-earth resource that offers a structure for planning, but also the flexibility to adapt the plan to the unique needs of any school or classroom. Market: A Longwood Professional Book.
