SHAPE America National Convention & Expo (Co-Operate With Us: Be That Bridge for Student Teachers)
Project Abstract
Do you want to build positive relationships between school districts, teachers and universities? Are you looking to strengthen your preservice teacher placements? This session will explore the dynamic relationships between higher education programs and both cooperating and preservice educators. Recognizing the importance of all perspectives, we will discuss the inclusion of teacher, student and higher education faculty in fostering and sustaining quality health and physical education programs. As the educational landscape evolves, cultivating professional, engaged, inclusive, and impactful relationships is crucial for preparing future educators. Join long-standing cooperating teachers, preservice teachers, and faculty from various Kentucky colleges and universities as they share insights to harmonize these essential relationships. Whether you are a cooperating teacher, a preservice teacher, or higher education faculty, this session is for you! Join us to learn, share and collaborate as we discuss best practices to prepare the next generation of educators.
