This handbook offers guidelines for the university supervisor, methods instructor, and cooperating teacher in providing a productive clinical experience for secondary school education majors at Lewis University (Illinois). General guidelines are presented on elements that pertain to all clinical experiences, such as classroom observation; planning and teaching; curriculum guides, textbooks, and supplementary materials; evaluation; classroom management; and identification of exceptional children. Specific guidelines are provided for the methods courses education majors will be taking in conjunction with the clinical experience.
