Elementary Education Clinical Experiences

Each semester almost 250 teachers serve their profession by agreeing to work with an early clinical student in elementary education.  The role of the cooperating teacher is one of great responsibility.

This site serves the students of TLEE 382 and TLEE 383, the two courses during which students engage in clinical experiences.  Both students and coordinating teachers can find information and resources related to these courses or contact Assistant Clinical Coordinator Fran Kimbell with any other questions.
