Information for University Supervisor

University supervisors use the Teacher Competencies Rubric and observation form to evaluate the skills and dispositions of a teacher candidate in each of five domains. The rubric is aligned with TSPC, AAQEP, and InTASC standards.

The College of Education recruits university supervisors to observe and evaluate our teacher candidates in their student teaching placement. Whether you currently work full-time, part-time, or are retired, consider joining our team.

Current supervisors, please contact the School Partnership Director if you have any questions.
