MOUNT PLEASANT, IOWA (February 1, 2022) — On December 9, 2021, students from the Teacher Education Program completed their student-teaching experience in area schools. During the Professional experience, each teacher candidate completed two terms in diverse classroom settings. Each placement involved various grade-levels located in different K-12 buildings across Southeast Iowa. Student teachers solo teach for a minimum of fifteen days in each setting, with many acting as the lead teacher for longer stints. During Fall 2021, eight candidate-students taught in elementary settings, four candidate-students taught in physical education, and one student-candidate taught in secondary science. Following the successful passage of two standardized exit exams, each will be recommended to the Iowa Board of Educational Examiners for teacher licensure.
Congratulations from the Teacher Education Program, Michelle Mitchell (Muscatine)!
