STUDENT TEACHING

Student teaching is the capstone experience in the professional teacher education sequence at Marquette.

Through this experience, students are able to test ideas, receive feedback from professionals, and carry the full responsibilities of a teacher. Planning, teaching, managing, and reflecting over an extended period of time enable pre-professional teachers to recognize more clearly the responsibilities as well as the joys of teaching.
