Welcome Letter

Welcome to Clinical Teaching!

You have finally reached the point in your academic career where you will have the opportunity to apply all that you've learned over the last few years.  Some of you may have thought this day would never come, but you have all persevered and worked hard to get to this point.  The Clinical Practice Office is here to support you through your final push to becoming the teacher you've always wanted to be.

While some of the tasks before you may seem a little daunting, just remember that everything you will observe, experience, and do during this final semester is preparing you to officially join the most important profession in the world! Teachers impact the lives of students, families, and communities, and that is a huge responsibility.

So, take this opportunity to soak it all up, ask questions, observe, listen, get involved, and glean as much as you can from your cooperating teacher and field supervisor. You will have many experts to learn from-take advantage of this time!

 

If you have any questions or challenges, we are here to assist you. Please reach out to us at any time!

 

Cheers,

Amanda E. Vickery, Ph.D.

Associate Dean of Educator Preparation
