Student teaching is a fourteen week experience divided into two seven-week blocks.
Student teachers need to demonstrate competency and professionalism in teaching. Student teaching has long been identified as one of the most important components in teacher education. It is during this period that students begin their transition from university students to professional teachers. This transition requires the coordinated efforts of several individuals and institutions. Cooperating teachers, building administrators, university supervisors, student teachers, university faculty, etc., become involved in this joint effort.
