The complete Teacher Education Program handbook is available at any time. The specific section that covers student teaching is available here: Student Teaching Syllabus
Student Teachers use a cloud-based system called Chalk & Wire to upload their required journals and artifacts for their university supervisor to read and assess. When a student submits and item, the university supervisor will receive and email notifying them that they have work to assess.
To see everything that student teachers will be submitting in Chalk and Wire Anthology Portfolio, click here.
Note that not everything in their eportfolio will go to their university supervisor, here is a link to a document that will show everything you should receive. University Supervisor Copy of Chalk and Wire submissions
If you have questions on how to assess the student teacher's work or if you have any questions about accessing the Chalk and Wire system or need your Chalk & Wire password reset, contact Garnet Coulthard coulthar@graceland.edu.
Prior to the placement you should familiarize yourself with student teaching requirements, processes, and evaluation forms. The links below should have all the forms you will need.
- It may be helpful to read the Supervisor Overview and Expectations document to fully understand your responsibilities as a university supervisor.
- Contact your student teacher(s) to determine the start date and when you will visit the classroom during the first week. You may find this a very helpful template for introduction. Supervisor Introduction Form
- Save a copy of the Supervisor Checklist to aid in your communication with the teacher and student teacher. You should go over this checklist with your student teacher during the initial meet and greet meeting. You should complete all checklist items by the end of your second visit to the classroom. Ask the teacher and student to initial the form after you have discussed each item. Return the form to the Field Office along with your other paperwork at the end of the placement.
