- Work with the cooperating teacher and student teacher in planning and evaluating the student teaching experience.

- Conduct a one-on-one conference with the student teacher during seminars held on-campus (if necessary).
- Assign student teacher’s final grade, taking into consideration the evaluations and recommendation of the cooperating teacher.
