Host Teachers (Con Ed Years 1-4)

Host Teachers are essential to the successful education of our Concurrent Education candidates in years 1-4.  Host teachers play a crucial role in helping shape candidates' professional attitudes and instructional approaches. They are exemplary role models and they set standards of excellence for candidates by demonstrating the care and competency that contribute to a productive learning environment for students.

Concurrent Education candidates complete a two or three week (or equivalent) Experiences in Schools placement in each of the first three years of the Concurrent Education Program.  In first year, candidates mainly observe and assist the Host Teacher in small group and one-on-one situations.  In years 2 and 3, candidates are expected to make additional observations of students as well as plan and teach lessons (or equivalent planning and implementation in an alternative setting), learn to prepare IEPs and make reflections and suggested changes on their plans.
