Role
The supervising practitioner's influence on the quality of a teacher candidate's experience is enormous. It is the supervising practitioner who guides and assists the student in completing a successful and rewarding practicum. Although teacher candidates have completed pre-practica experiences, they are still beginners. They learn by trial and error, and will benefit tremendously from modeling, constructive comments and feedback. Remember that you are the most valuable person in the student teaching arrangement! Feel free to contact the program supervisor at any time, particularly if problems arise or are anticipated.
