Letter from the Director

Dear Cooperating Teacher,

Thank you for your willingness to serve as a mentor and guide to our teacher candidates during their clinical teaching and internship experience. Your partnership is essential to our mission of preparing highly effective, equity-driven educators for today’s diverse classrooms. We deeply appreciate your time, leadership, and commitment to developing the next generation of Texas teachers.

To support you in your role, the Cooperating Teacher Resources section of our website provides essential documents and forms. Please take a moment to review the information and complete the required forms. These materials outline responsibilities, timelines, and expectations to ensure a successful placement.

Your assigned Field Supervisor will review the Cooperating Teacher Manual  with you during the orientation visit. If you encounter any issues accessing these materials, don’t hesitate to reach out—we are happy to assist.

Thank you again for your service to our program and to the teaching profession.

Warm regards,
Dr. Debra Delley
Director, Center for Adult and Continuing Education
