Tips for Working with Cooperating Teachers
Woika, Shirley
Educational Horizons, v91 n1 p12-13 Oct-Nov 2012
Cooperating teachers can help student teachers make the most of their student teaching experience. The author has served as an on-site supervisor for many practicum students and interns. She has also worked on the university side, supervising pre-student teachers and school psychology practicum students. Having served in all three of these positions--as a student teacher, field supervisor, and university supervisor--the author has seen good relationships and bad ones between student teachers and their cooperating teachers. Based on her experience in each of these roles, the author offers tips to build a good relationship and get a great recommendation for a job hunt.
