Student teaching will end around December 14th depending upon the number of days off the district has had during the fall semester. A student must attend Student Teaching Seminar, ED403 in the same semester as Student Teaching, ED404. Prior to the start of student teaching, and at the conclusion of student teaching, the student teachers are invited to attend a Candlelight Service. The guests of honor are the outgoing class of student teachers and the incoming student teachers. Formal invitations are mailed directly to the students.
Student teaching encompasses a full semester, either fall or spring.
Student teaching does not occur during summer sessions. In accordance with State regulations, the college supervisor will visit every other week, seven to eight times over the course of the semester. Visits constitute both conferences and formal observations. The college supervisor will conduct a minimum of four formal observations. The lessons observed should reflect the student teacher s instructional competence in various subject areas.
