Why should you student teach in Aldine? Past student teachers
have recommended taking this opportunity because of...
The level of support you receive.
Our student teaching program
provides supportive cooperative teachers and a strong
mentoring program. Seminars are conducted on topics
which help student teachers perform at their optimum:
classroom management, parent conferences, gang awareness,
and interviewing techniques. Out-of-state student
teachers are also given an overview of our Texas
Assessment of Academic Skills (TAAS Test).
The ability to enter individualized teaching situations.
Because of the Aldine's
size, with sixty-three schools and an enrollment
of nearly 50,000 students, we can provide a teaching
situation geared to fit individual student teacher
requests while following the guidelines and requirements
of your university. We believe that student teaching
in our district will prepare you for teaching in
any classroom of your own.
