Apprentice Teacher Partners

Apprentice Teacher Mentors (Cooperating Teachers) donate their classes for 14 weeks to make sure that our UTeach Dallas pre-service teachers have authentic field experience as they student teach in their last semester. With their guidance and advice, our Apprentice Teachers are able to experience running their own classrooms for the first time.

Thanks for being a role model to our UTeach Dallas pre-service teachers. They will receive hands-on experience while working with your students that they just can’t get from a book.  You prepare them to meet the needs of students in the real world. You are shaping the future of science and mathematics education.

Field Supervisors

Our Field Supervisors visit our Apprentice Teachers weekly in the field. They are all experienced teachers or administrators that evaluate our students while giving constructive feedback and advice that keeps them on the right track. Monitoring topics from classroom management to meeting the needs of all students in the classroom, to motivational strategies, they challenge our teachers perfect and polish the skills that they have learned in their UTeach Dallas classes.
