To ease the transition from college student to teacher, the University provides extensive clinical and field experiences, course work on teaching and learning, and advising services. Each student in the teacher education program participates with a cohort group in classes, field experiences, and student teaching. Each student has the opportunity to participate in a variety of field placements according to his/her subject area and grade level. Student teaching is the pinnacle of the teacher education program and provides the "bridge" between college life and a teaching career. The faculty and staff of Miami University recommend that the prospective student teacher and cooperating teacher read the STUDENT HANDBOOK FOR TEACHER LICENSURE PROGRAMS and other policy documents prior to the start of the student teaching experience.
