The Elementary Inclusive Program provides students with one of the nation's most clinically rich teacher education programs. Our student teaching experience spans two semesters and is designed to prepare you for a smooth transition to a full-time teaching career.
As a student teacher, you will join a full-time New York City teacher in their elementary school classroom. You will support students, collaborate on lesson planning, lead learning experiences, analyze and act upon assessment data, and become an integral part of the school community. The student teaching experience takes place three and a half days a week across two full semesters.
By the end of your second student teaching semester, you will have taught across all subject areas, received coaching from your cooperating teacher and a TC-based field supervisor, and taken the lead for an entire week of instruction.
