This guide for student teachers focuses on the prospective special education teacher. The phases of the student teaching experience serve as a framework for the progressive escalation of responsibilities. These phases are orientation and observation, participation, full classroom responsibility, working with individual students, and developing materials. The roles of the supervising teacher, the university supervisor, and the university are discussed. An example is given of the organization of the student teacher's working file. Sample evaluation forms to be completed, the weekly feedback checklist, mid-semester suggestions form, and student teaching evaluation are included as well as sample forms to be completed by student teachers. The latter include: framework questions, an anecdotal record form, and a frequency/duration of behavior form. (JD)
