The university supervisor, designated by the Office of Field Experiences, has a shared responsibility with the clinical educator (cooperating teacher) in the P-12 school for overseeing the student teacher in the assigned setting. Both use multiple measures and multiple assessments to evaluate candidate skills, knowledge, and professional dispositions in relation to institutional standards. Official university online forms are completed by the university supervisor and the cooperating teacher. The forms are reviewed by the Office of Field Experiences before a candidate is approved for successful completion of the degree and recommended to the state for certification. Detailed procedures for supervision and assessment can be found in the Student Teaching Handbook.
