The College of Education and Educational Technology Student Teaching Student teaching is designed to be the culminating learning experience for prospective teachers. A university supervisor is assigned to work with individual student teachers and cooperating teachers. To gain admission to student teaching, applicants must have achieved a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5. In addition, students must complete all requirements of the 4-Step Process and should complete all other components of the Liberal Studies and professional core before student teaching.
Student teaching is the capstone experience in the program of the emerging professional educator.
Student teaching assignments are the responsibility of the university. To avoid conflicts of interest, students will normally not be assigned to districts from which they graduated or to districts in which they permanently reside or to schools in which an immediate family member is employed. This information is maintained by the Office of the Registrar, with approval from the University Senate.
