Cooperating Teacher Resources
Cooperating Teacher Trainings & Zoom Chats
All cooperating teachers hosting an intern for the University of North Alabama are required to complete the Cooperating Teacher Overview and Rubric Training listed in this section. Even if the training has been completed in the past, we ask for it to be completed as a refresher before scoring rubrics for the student teaching interns.
