A Manual for Cooperating Teachers: Secondary Field Experiences.

This manual was prepared specifically for cooperating teachers who are responsible for supervising secondary school field experiences of education students from Franklin College (Indiana). Sections in the booklet deal with each field experience from the sophomore year through the senior year, including lab experiences, internships, and student teaching. Each segment is discussed in terms of: (1) prior experience a student will have at the beginning of the field experience; (2) observations and reports expected of the student; (3) preferred type of participation by the student; (4) time frame for assuming responsibilities; (5) ways the student can assist the cooperating teacher; and (6) reports required of the cooperating teacher. Sample student evaluation forms are included. The legal status of pre-professional teachers and the policy for placement of student teachers are briefly discussed. An appendix includes a comprehensive list of suggested activities and laboratoy experiences for students in internships. (JD)
