The Teaching Experience

The student teaching experience provides a laboratory for the testing of ideas—a place where the student may encounter real problems, an opportunity for personal growth, and a feeling of reality. All these factors tend to make the student teaching experience one of the most interesting and helpful phases of the professional preparation of prospective teachers.

The Department of Special Education would like to thank the faculty and staff of the participating schools for being such an important part in the development of a new generation of professional educators. We would also like to wish our students well in this critical step of their professional education.
