What you'll do and what you'll bring:

The University Supervisor is an adjunct faculty instructor in the Teachers College (TC) under The Office of Teacher Education Services and Clinical Practice (OTES-CP).

• Conducting pre- and post-conference meetings for every formal observation to assist in improving instruction, analyzing problems, identifying strengths, and reflecting on teaching effectiveness.
• Complete required evaluation forms and assessments as outlined and aligned to InTASC pre-service teacher candidate standards.
