The clinical supervision model focuses on collaboration between a cooperating teacher and student teaching candidate. It involves the cooperating teacher modeling lessons for the candidate and collecting data as the candidate teaches. After each lesson, the two collaborate in a post-teaching conference. Reflection is a key part of the process, allowing the candidate to analyze their teaching and identify areas for improvement. The ALACT model outlines a process for reflection that includes action, looking back, awareness, creating alternatives, and trial.
