University Supervisor Testimonials
"Every aspect of the student teacher supervisor position is rewarding. One of many highlights that stick out for me is the look on the cooperating teacher's face each time I enter the room. They are so proud of their mentee's growth and want to 'show off' his or her progress to me as if it were their own child."
