University Supervisor

The University is grateful to have a dedicated team of University Supervisors who play a pivotal role in supporting the final step of our student teacher candidates as they prepare to begin their teaching careers.

The primary responsibility of the University Supervisor is to serve as a facilitator within the student teaching triad, acting as a crucial liaison between the school and the University. This role is essential to ensure the quality and integrity of the teacher education program. Additionally, the University Supervisor functions as a dedicated advocate for the teaching profession.
