Supervising Teachers

School site supervising teachers for Willamette University's student teachers are considered adjunct faculty who share responsibility with university faculty in providing support, instructional assistance, and assessment of student teachers.

The design of the student teaching experience is unique to the individual situation and is controlled by the joint decisions of the supervising teacher, the university, and the student teacher. Supervising teachers meet with the Graduate School of Education faculty on campus a number of times during the school year to clarify expectations and develop supervisory techniques.
