Student teaching is made successful through the collaboration and support of a team of professionals who provide guidance, support, and mentoring to the candidate. Three key members of this team are the cooperating or mentor teacher, the college supervisor and, the teacher candidate. Each of these three student teaching team members’ roles and responsibilities are described on the sub-pages of this section by selecting from the drop-down menu. Different student teaching contexts may have additional team members whose roles and responsibilities may be described elsewhere.
