Student Teacher’s In-School Schedule (Required)
This form is for the benefit of both you and your University Supervisor. Use the form to provide your supervisor with important information about your teaching day. Supervisors use this to plan visits—should a deviation from this schedule occur (e.g., an assembly, teacher in-service day, etc.), you should notify your supervisor.

Student Teacher Profile
The student teacher profile should be completed by student teacher and given to the cooperating teacher(s).

Getting Ready for the Semester
This extended set of checklists is for you to use to become familiar with your assigned school and prepare for your classroom teaching. Use this as a resource throughout the semester.

Observation Records (Required)
Three different formats are available (Form A (.pdf) (.doc), Form B (.pdf) (.doc), Form C (.pdf) (.doc) for use by your University Supervisor (required) and your Cooperating Teacher (optional). A Guide has also been included to assist you in understanding the observation process and criteria.

Quality Urban Classroom Form
The QUC is an alternate program-approved observation protocol that focuses on student and teacher actions/interactions as well as classroom climate. Supervisors who have completed a QUC training session may use this observation tool for student teaching observations.

Student Teaching Standards Verification Form (Required) (.pdf) (.docx)
This form is a place to record progress toward and eventual verification of satisfying Performance-Based Standards for Colorado Teachers. The US is responsible for maintaining the official copy of the Student Teaching Standards Verification Form. At the Mid-Assignment Assessment/Growth Plan Conference, the supervisor, cooperating teacher, and student teacher collaboratively document progress toward satisfying standards and set growth plan goals; following the Mid-Assignment conference, the supervisor makes copies for the CT, ST, and one for the student teacher’s file. At the Final Conference, the supervisor and student teacher ensure all standards have been satisfied, and then the supervisor submits a completed form to the Office of Student Services. This form is retained in the student teacher’s permanent file.

Final Student Teacher Assessment (Required) (.pdf) (.doc)
Both your Cooperating Teacher and your University Supervisor will be completing this form. The Office of Student Services will keep the original copy in your permanent file.

The Teacher Work Sample Outline and Rubric provides detailed information about preparing your work sample. This form is only used by music education students.

Teacher Work Sample Proficiency Verification Form (Required)
This verification form is completed by the university supervisor and cooperating teacher to show that the student teacher has successfully completed each of the Teacher Work Sample elements. This form is only used by music education students.

Student Teacher Evaluation of Cooperating Teacher (Required)
We are interested in obtaining feedback from you about the effectiveness of your Cooperating Teacher. An on-line assessment link will be sent by email near the end of the semester (1st Monday in December for fall placements and 1st Monday in May for spring placements).

Student Teacher Evaluation of University Supervisor (Required)
We are also interested in obtaining feedback from you about the effectiveness of your supervisor. An on-line assessment link will be sent by email near the end of the semester (1st Monday in December for fall placements and 1st Monday in May for spring placements). After grades are submitted, overall results will be shared with the supervisors.

Weekly Student Teaching Activity Plan (Optional)
This form, if used, is completed each week by the student teacher in consultation with the cooperating teacher and shared with the university supervisor. 

Best of luck in your student teaching assignment. We know that this will be a wonderful learning experience.
