Cooperating Teachers

Cooperating teachers serve as mentors, models and instructors to student teachers; they are one of TC's most valuable resources.  By welcoming a novice into their classroom (remotely or in-person), cooperating teachers demonstrate their willingness to:

• guide student teachers in planning and implementing curriculum
• support student teachers in developing their personal teaching style
• encourage questions, open discussion and dialogue
• monitor and assess the many aspects of each student teacher's growth
• challenge, re-direct, question and explain according to the needs of the pre-service student

If you are a TC Cooperating teacher, thank you so much for your service!  Please explore this site to learn more about resources and benefits that are available to you.
