About

The Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC) enacted a requirement in 2016 that all cooperating teachers complete 10 hours of initial orientation and ongoing support. The first is an initial orientation (minimum of 10 hours) with respect to: 1. Program curriculum, 2. Effective supervision approaches such as (but not limited to) cognitive coaching and adult learning theory, and 3. Current content specific pedagogy and instructional practices. The second is ongoing support to ensure that CTs stay current with respect to: 1. Knowledge and skills for supervision, and 2. Program expectations.
