Congratulations!

Your administrator or someone from the local college/university has reached out to you because they think that future music teachers would benefit from working with you as part of their student teaching experience.



The purpose of this guide is to provide you tools to help you transition from music teacher to cooperating music teacher.



The guide is broken up into six sections addressing different facets of working with a student teacher. They are:

• Why Should I Have a Student Teacher?
• Preparing for a Student Teacher
• Mentoring a Student Teacher
• Navigating Philosophical Differences
• Evaluating a Student Teacher
• Communicating with the University Supervisor
