Making the Transition: The Student Teacher and the Cooperating Teacher should carefully plan making the transition of responsibilities a smooth one for teachers and students. The Student Teacher may plan with the cooperating teacher and Principal to spend some time during the last week of student teaching visiting other classes and grade levels, and possibly other schools. Any plans to visit in other classrooms or other schools must be approved by the Cooperating Teacher, the University Supervisor and the Principal.

Electronic Portfolio Presentation: Students should work closely with their University Supervisors throughout the semester to accomplish the requirements of the teaching portfolio. During the last three weeks of student teaching, students should be provided time to complete the digital portfolio and prepare for their oral portfolio presentation.
