STUDENT TEACHING IN HEALTH EDUCATION
Provides the opportunity for the student teacher to put theory into practice under the guidance of a licensed teacher and a university supervisor, allowing the gradual induction into the role of a professional teacher. Feedback and assessment are given in terms of growth in the understandings and abilities needed to assume the responsibilities of a beginning teacher. Emphasis is placed on helping the student teacher become a reflective professional. Cooperation among the classroom teacher, university supervisor, and administrators is encouraged.
