Re: [LM_NET] ELEM: Have you had a student teacher?

[Liz Deskins <liz4lib2000@YAHOO.COM>]

Hello,
These are all great projects and ideas for student
teachers, but as a library science student teacher
supervisor much of what the student teachers do is
dictated by the syllabus for that course.  I send
lists of things that need to be covered to be sure the
student has had a well rounded experience.  There is a
great deal of communication between supervisor and
cooperating teacher and student teacher to build on
the student's strengths as well as strengthen possible
weaknesses.  I am hoping that the student who wants a
particular placement has gone through their college
for this.
You might want to check with the college before
planning too awfully much.
