This position paper on the college supervisor of student teaching is divided into three sections. Section one (on the selection of college supervisors) contains an enumeration of the responsibilities of the college supervisor from which general criteria can be derived for selection, assumptions on which the criteria for selection are based, the professional and personal qualifications which a supervisor should possess (the actual criteria for selection), and recommendations for establishing a basis for selection. Section two details recommendations for teaching conditions which should be followed for competent supervisors to function effectively. Section three completes the body of the document, capsuling guidelines which help the supervisor to establish the dimensions of his role and structure a desirable setting for student teaching and supervision.
