Student Teaching
Student teaching at Monmouth University is a comprehensive experience. It provides linkage between the research and theory-based instruction of the university teacher preparation program, the world of pedagogical decision-making, and classroom teacher implementation.
The vision of this program, which is linked to the New Jersey Professional Standards for Teachers (NJPST), the New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards (NJCCCS) and the Specialty Professional Association (SPA) Standards for each discipline, is for each candidate to develop the knowledge, skills, and dispositions necessary to have a positive effect on student learning.
Student teaching provides an opportunity for teacher candidates to practice and refine their knowledge and skills under the supervision and guidance of exceptional master teachers, (cooperating teachers), and Monmouth University Supervisors who have dedicated their careers to education and a lifetime of student learning.
