MC/AYA Phase II Second Semester In opposite setting culturally diverse/suburban. Where ever they were the first semester in opposite setting. This involves every morning for ten weeks, then ten weeks all day of lead teaching. During the first eight weeks interns are there for mornings only they will become familiar with setting and prepare to take over as lead teacher.

What Does This Mean As A Field Placement Site? • We would like to ask you to become a field placement site which means you will agree to place ECE students and/or MC/AYA. Faculty input in the decision is necessary. We would like you to discuss it as soon as possible and get back to Raymond Swann or. Donna Cole.

Phase II Benefits • Each week - extra hands to help them reach students that they find difficult to reach. • Time to consider if you want to keep this student as a student teacher the following quarter. • Relationship between in service and preservice is started. • Pathwise training will be offered for clinical teacher. Enables them to work with own students better, mentor preservice teachers, earn LPDC credits or LPDC? ? ? Credit for renewal. • New requirement for being a mentor to a first year student.

Student Teacher Benefits • Small reinnumeration • Being the most influential person in a new teacher’s life. • Benefit for the K-12 students. Provides more hands. • Lead teaching instead of student teaching. Coops do not have to leave classroom so teacher can become support for children.
