Teacher Interns aremore likely to become competent, reflective <strong>teachers</strong> when they have honest, sensitive feedbackthroughout the Teacher Internship experience.Many Supervising Teachers (Cooperating Teachers and/or Mentor Teachers) are apprehensiveabout “telling others what to do,” and are reluctant to be too critical of Teacher Interns.Supervising Teachers want their Teacher Interns to succeed. Sometimes Supervising Teachersfeel that a Teacher Intern’s lack of knowledge or experience is a negative reflection on theSupervising Teacher’s own competence. Sometimes, the close relationship that developsbetween a Supervising Teacher and Teacher Intern causes the Supervising Teacher to “soften” alesson analysis in a desire to protect the feelings of the Teacher Intern. Yet, when surveyed,Teacher Interns consistently express a strong desire <strong>for</strong> their Supervising Teachers to observelessons and provide honest, frank feedback.Researchers have found that conferences with Teacher Interns often feature far too much“teacher” talk – where the Teacher Intern assumes a subordinate role and just listens to theSupervising Teacher. It is extremely important <strong>for</strong> the Supervising Teacher treat the TeacherIntern as a colleague and confidante, to minimize teacher talk, and to encourage Teacher Internanalysis and reflection.Feedback sessions may be <strong>for</strong>mal or in<strong>for</strong>mal. It is important that they occur frequently and thatthey are arranged when the Supervising Teacher and Teacher Intern are not hurried or likely tobe interrupted. The Reflection Sheet can be used to structure in<strong>for</strong>mal conferences, and can beused in <strong>for</strong>mal conferences as well.College of EducationProfessional PartnersCreating Environments <strong>for</strong> Learning33August 2011
