Student Teaching Orientation
The Education Unit kicked-off the Spring 2023 semester with the Student Teacher Orientation on Monday, January 9, 2023. We welcomed over 30 student teachers to campus for their Orientation, as well as 11 college supervisors. The students were also able to connect with their college supervisors for a brief meet and greet.
We are excited to hear about our students’ experiences this semester and we’re confident that they will make a tremendous impact in the classrooms this Spring. We look forward to celebrating their accomplishments.
