This document outlines the roles and responsibilities of those involved in a teacher candidate's placement: the teacher candidate, university supervisor, cooperating teacher, and student teacher coordinator. It also discusses the process of reflection, which involves teachers thinking critically about their teaching practices, analyzing what was taught and how it could be improved to better support student learning outcomes. Teachers are encouraged to consider what is currently being done, why, and how well students are learning, using tools like journal writing and video recordings to reflect.
