This handbook has been developed to assist student teachers, mentoring teachers, and the host schools involved with the Simpson College Teacher Preparation Program. This handbook attempts to provide an outline of the Simpson College Teacher Preparation Program, the program's expectations for a quality student teaching experience, the procedures involved in setting up and facilitating the student teaching experience, and other information and documents pertinent to student teaching. No document can be all inclusive nor anticipate all the questions that might arise regarding a given experience, but we hope this handbook will serve as a useful guide. For additional information about the program feel free to contact:
