Admission to Apprentice Teaching

Apprentice Teaching is a 15-week, full-day teaching experience.  You will be placed with a mentor teacher in a local public school.  During Apprentice Teaching you will be under the guidelines of both the UTeach program and the College of Education’s Office of Educator Preparation and Accountability.  The Office of Educator Preparation and Accountability on the Edinburg campus is located in EDUC 2.510 and on the Brownsville campus in MAIN 2.200.

At the beginning of the Apprentice Teaching experience, you will be observing your cooperating teacher.  As the semester progresses, you will begin to assume responsibility for teaching classes.  You will be responsible for planning your lessons, grading papers, discipline in the classroom, etc.  You will be required to attend applicable campus meetings including department meetings, school-wide teacher meetings, parent conferences, etc.  If your cooperating teacher has duty, you will be responsible for joining them for duty.
