  In Roundtable Session: The Role of the Supervisor in Teacher Development and Evaluation

Abstract

Student teaching is the most influential experience in teacher education programs, yet the characteristics of those assigned to supervise and the time and cost required to provide meaningful supervision threaten the quality of the experience. This session reports data collected over three years to examine the feedback provided, the cost, and the time required to deliver traditional face-to-face vs. video-based supervision of student teachers. It explores the traditions and beliefs that challenge or impede changes in traditional approaches to student teacher supervision.
