Student teaching is the most influential experience in teacher preparation programs, yet finding strong placements and the cost of supervision make it difficult to ensure quality experiences. This session reports the use of two alternative approaches to student teacher supervision: 1) placing multiple students with one cooperating teacher and 2) videotaping teaching episodes. The data presented compares cost, time, effectiveness, and satisfaction with these two approaches compared traditional student teaching.
