Faculty Supervisors Unite

On Thursday evening, October 29th, I have the opportunity to connect with professionals who hold a critical role in training tomorrow’s teachers: our faculty supervisors.  Each semester, after successfully completely a series of core courses in their discipline, teacher candidates apply for  placements in  P-12 schools.  Our very capable placement director, Veronika Winkler, expertly handles the applications and assigns each of the teacher candidates a classroom with a cooperating teacher and faculty supervisor.  Faculty supervisors and their cooperating teacher counterparts are not only necessary ingredients to the success of the teacher candidates’ classroom experience, they are essential mentors who offer tremendous guidance and direction to tomorrow’s school leaders.  We celebrate our faculty supervisors for all the support and direction they give our teacher candidates; helping them to develop into effective instructors ready for the challenge of 21st Century Teaching.  Here is the link to this very important presentation.
