“CU is undoubtedly my first choice because of their course offerings. I enrolled in their Option 6 Superintendent Certification Program in the Spring of 2024. The convenience of online courses & evening classes work well with my busy school schedule. Another added bonus is the low student-to-teacher ratio, which helps foster positive working relationships with my professors.The instructors take a personal interest in fostering success for each member of the class. I appreciate their availability when I have a question on an assignment or need advice in a professional manner. It’s clear that the professors at Campbellsville model what they teach & serve students as they progress through the coursework. This model is the epitome of servant leadership at its best. I appreciate that the professors make themselves available for communication, even after the term has ended. Because of my experience at CU, I have made connections and built professional relationships which will continue to foster my career & leadership successes. I recommend Campbellsville University, without reservation, to any aspiring school leader. You will not regret the experience!”

Instructions for Submitting Student Teaching Forms:

Please use the rubrics/forms provided to you by the School of Education or print copies from this web page to use conducting observations of student teachers and to provide specific feedback on standards and indicators.

Complete the forms and conduct a post conference with the student teacher to discuss strengths and areas for growth.

All parties in the post-conference will sign the documents where indicated.

Make a copy for the student teacher and retain the originals to submit to the university supervisor at the last committee conference, finalizing the placement.

The student teacher will then scan copies into electronic form and use as needed in their e-portfolios.

E-portfolios will be continuously available to the cooperating teacher, university supervisor, and student teacher coordinator within the first two week of the first placement.
