An assigned WSU faculty team consisting of three members meet the cohort in Level II and will instruct, supervise, and mentor the students through Levels II and III. In Level II students begin their student teaching experience (2 classes) at the selected site-schools and become acquainted with the school environment, student body, and administration along with taking the university courses taught in Level II, which are usually taught from 10:30 am to noon daily. Level III students complete student teaching (4 classes) in the morning and receive level instruction in the afternoons at the site-school. Participants teach at both the high school and junior high sites, switching sites at the end of the Level II semester. English methods courses (3400, 3410) are offered on-site as well; Education 4500 for history majors is usually offered at an accommodating time. Cooperating teachers meet their student teachers prior to the first semester during a retreat which orients all participants to the program. In addition, they receive mentor training to help facilitate their role in the student teaching process. To apply for the on-site option, after acceptance into teacher education, complete the application by visiting the Teacher Education Web Site or Dr. Smith or Dr. Young. It is strongly suggested that all major and minor courses be completed, except for the noted methods courses, prior to Level I. All course work in the major and minor must be completed prior to Level II, except for the noted methods courses. After being accepted into the site-based option students should register for the Level II section designated "on-site," usually taught in the morning. IV.
