Conferences
Teacher candidates participate in routine conferences with their cohort coordinators, field supervisors, mentor teachers, and course instructors frequently throughout the cohort program. In addition, cohort coordinators arrange special conferences with teacher candidates who experience areas of concern or need for improvement related to the professional knowledge, skills, and dispositions required of teachers. A conference is the first step designed for teacher candidate support. The conference provides the opportunity to identify specific problems, needed improvement, and program support.
