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.
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.

Mid-Assignment Assessment (Required) (.pdf) (.doc)
Halfway through your placement, you, your Cooperating Teacher and your University Supervisor will spend time assessing where you’ve been and goals for the remainder of your assignment.

How Do You See Me? (Optional)
One of the best ways to assess your progress and success is to ask your students for feedback. This form may be given to the students you teach. We offer it as an option, not a requirement, but we encourage you to use this or something like it to assist you in self-reflection at some point during your assignment.
Best of luck in your student teaching assignment. We know that this will be a wonderful learning experience.
