Being an effective cooperating teacher takes a specialized set of supervisory skills. These skills extend beyond being a model classroom teacher. Cooperating teachers must know how to be purposeful in words and actions to maximize the growth of college-adults as they transition into a teacher. Fortunately, these supervisory skills can be learned! New and veteran cooperating teachers will benefit from reading this new book series which provides a firm foundation for the supervision of student teachers.
Student Teaching: The Cooperating Teacher Series includes three essential books to guide you through the stages of supervising a student teacher. You can use all three to provide a heads-up on the total experience or choose the one which fits your current supervisory stage. Preparing for a Student Teacher (Book 1) steers you through the details of preparing for the student teacher’s arrival, developing a plan for transitioning responsibilities, scheduling a total school experience, and building rapport with the student teacher and the college supervisor. Evaluating a Student Teacher (Book 3) investigates legal issues, problematic situations, and the evaluation process, as well as supplying step-by-step assistance for writing the letter of recommendation.
Each short, quick-to-read book answers common questions, provides practical strategies and examples, and supplies reaffirming research. Its format is user friendly with bulleted points, to-do lists, space for your own notes, and usable worksheets. The writing style is casual, clear, and supportive. It provides a solid foundation for the daily decisions that you make and allows you to see other situations that might evolve. There is also a website that provides case studies for you to apply your new knowledge and practice your new skills! Maximize the affect you have on the future of the teaching profession by increasing your understanding of the cooperating teacher role and the skills necessary for directing the student-teaching experience as it unfolds. The co-authors’ experience and passion provide the guidance you need to be successful as a cooperating teacher. As they like to say about the series, “These are the little instruction books that should come with your student teacher!”
