Three-Way
Conferences
A three-way
conference is a conference that involves the student teacher, the
cooperating teacher and the University supervisor. Three-way conferences
can occur as many times during the student teaching experience as
needed, however, supervisors must conduct a minimum of two three-way
conferences.
One three-way
conference should occur at the mid-point of the experience. An interim
evaluation report should be presented to the student teacher at
the mid-point conference. Students should be informed, in writing,
if they are not passing the experience at this point.
Similarly,
a three-way conference should occur at the end of the experience.
A final evaluation report should be presented to the student teacher
at the final three-way conference.
The supervisor
and the cooperating teacher should meet to discuss their reports
prior to meeting with the student teacher. The reports do not have
to look exactly alike, but both parties should be able to explain
their evaluations to the student and to each other.
