Is there an opportunity to earn PD credits for mentor teachers hosting a student teacher?
Yes, Cooperating Teachers working with a student teacher may register for and earn professional development credits with the secondary program. The exit requirement is the completion of a fill-able portfolio that journals the cooperating teachers support of and interactions with the student teachers. The cooperating teacher simply documents, or lists the ways the student teacher was supported weekly and submits this documentation along with the UC notes and a student teacher’s lesson plan.
