Student Teaching

Student teaching in local elementary schools (for multiple-subject candidates) or secondary schools (for single-subject candidates) is for 17 weeks, under the guidance of a university supervisor with the cooperation of master teachers. Candidates gain experience in multicultural settings and in regular classrooms.

Student teaching is done in cooperation with public schools. For multiple-subject candidates, there may be opportunity for one of the two assignments to be in a non-public school or in a foreign country.
