Where can I Teach?
Teaching is complex, professional work that requires a broad repertoire of knowledge, skills, and the judgment developed from experience about how to best use this repertoire for success. Intensive coaching relationships are prominent in a ÐÔ°®ÌìÌà education, allowing students to hone their practice through a supportive apprenticeship.
Candidates complete clinical practice in cohorts at one of ÐÔ°®ÌìÌÃ's Professional Development Schools. While completing their internships, degree candidates are supervised by carefully identified and specially trained mentor teachers in area Professional Development Schools where ÐÔ°®ÌìÌà has developed a long and sustained partnership.Ìý
