  1. UCI Multiple Subject Credential ProgramSpring Mentor Teacher Information Susan Toma-Berge, Coordinator

  2. Thank you! Effective cooperating teachers (mentor teachers) assess teacher candidates' strengths and weaknesses and scaffold support accordingly, and they develop a level of mutual trust and effective communication so that teacher candidates feel safe to confront challenges and develop their own practice (Glenn, 2006; Street, 2004). These nuanced and delicate partnerships form the relational context within which candidates learn to teach (Grossman, Ronfeldt, and Cohen, 2012).

  3. Spring Quarter Dates • Student Teaching • Monday – Friday • April 3rd – last day of school

  4. Spring Quarter Courses Spring courses are held 3 evenings a week. ED 247 Teaching Investigation ED 359 Social Studies and Info Literacy ED 363 Arts Integration ED 304 Student Teaching Seminar

  5. Spring Quarter Evaluation Process • MT completes a mid-term and final evaluation based on TPEs Mentor Teacher Candidate Evaluation • Mid-term and Final Evaluation • Conference with MT to discuss progress, set goals and note accomplishments Mid-Term Evaluation: May 5th Final Evaluation: May 29th

  6. Long Term Planner, Norms & Daily Schedule Long Term Planner • Plan together with MT (and partner) • Decide what subjects to take over planning and teaching • Include key assignments Norms • Collaborate with MT (and partner) • Shared expectations for communication, feedback, addressing parents, etc. Daily Schedule - Chart showing when each subject is taught

  7. What is Co-Teaching? Two teachers working together with groups of students sharing the planning, organization, delivery and assessment of instruction, and the physical space.

  8. As an experienced teacher, mentor teachers often make teaching “look easy”. Collaboration helps makes your “invisible teaching practices” visible to the student teacher.

  9. Co-Teaching Models • Both MT and ST plan the lesson • Both participate in teaching the lesson • Both analyze student work • Both plan for Next Steps based on Assessment

  10. Roles and Responsibilities We are both teaching.

  11. One Teach, One Observe OBSERVE TEACH

  12. One Teach, One Assist

  13. Parallel Teaching TEACH TEACH

  14. Team Teaching

  15. Planning tips • Set aside time to plan weekly. • Share what will be co-taught and ideas from curriculum. • When will you co-teach? When will each of you teach solo?

  16. Myths • Myth-- Teacher candidates must be left on their own to sink or swim. • Reality – Teacher candidates in co-teaching settings are supported in their effort to becoming a licensed professional. The mentor teacher models and assists as the teacher candidate acquires the knowledge and skills of teaching. This is in sharp contrast to the sink or swim model that assumes the teacher candidate must learn how to become a teacher on their own.

  17. Co-Teaching Goal Our Co-Teaching goal is for the Student Teacher to assume greater responsibility for planning, teaching and assessing.
