Generally, the first few days of student teaching are spent observing the teacher and getting to know the names of students. The beginning of the second week or end of the first week, the student teacher may begin teaching one course with additional courses being added as the student teacher develops confidence. By week 7 or so, the student teacher should be accepting a full teaching load. During weeks 10 and 11, the cooperating teacher should begin re-assuming responsibility for classes in order to provide an easier transition for students and allow the student teacher time to complete final assignments and provide reflection for the holistic experience. The information provided below, in addition to the “Weekly Teaching Schedule” sheets, are intended as a guide for the student teacher so expectations are clear from the beginning and time may be spent preparing during the on-campus portion of student teaching.

If you would rather attach your course outline or scope and sequence, please do so. This information will serve as the student’s guide toward preparing units and topics you would like for him/her to take responsibility for while student teaching.
