Student Teaching
Student teaching is the culminating experience of the Teacher Education degree program. This experience is carefully designed to allow teacher candidates opportunities to utilize the skills acquired through their course work and field experiences.
Student teaching is the part of the teacher preparation program which enables prospective teachers to synthesize and apply their accumulated knowledge, moving from theory to practice under the supervision of experienced, licensed teachers.
