When I have a student teacher I have them observe me for a few weeks, walk
around talk to the kids etc. Next, I have them submit a lesson that they
want to do, usually concerning my existing curriculum and we talk. Then I
have them demonstrate and we discuss how it went and what they can do to
improve. I slowly start to leave the room and let them handle things,
coming back after 20 min. or so and checking. Eventually I will leave for
longer periods and if they are doing well I will let them go. We talk
everyday about what happened, plan for the future and then they start their
own project, if it is something I have supplies for. Anytime I feel they
are not ready to be alone I will stay. They have a lot to learn and you
can help them with tips and advise, if you are around to observe how they
are doing.

> Hello Eveyone!
> I am planning on taking on a student teacher for the first time and I
would like to make sure that I am prepared for it. I want to make sure
that my expectations concerning the work that the student teacher will do
as well as the work that my students will do is clearly stated and
understood. I was hoping that I could get some advice on how some of you
have handled student teachers in the past.
