Special Education Program Cooperating Teachers

As a new or continuing Special Education Cooperating Teacher, we are here to support you throughout the semester or year. In order to ensure a strong start, we ask that you review our virtual program orientation presentations. We will ask your Teacher Candidate to work with you to complete required virtual pairs training modules either during the summer prior to the start of the school year or at the beginning of the school year.
