Misericordia education majors receive student teaching assignments

Misericordia University, Dallas, teacher education majors recently received their student teaching assignments for the spring semester during the student teaching seminar in Sandy and Marlene Insalaco Hall.

Twenty-one Misericordia University student teachers participated in the program, which prepares the undergraduates for classroom observation and instruction in several regional school districts.

The university requires student teachers to observe student instruction for 14 weeks in two different classrooms as part of their educational and professional experience. Students spend the school day in their assigned classrooms at first observing and then gradually teaching classes.

Melissa Smith, New Tripoli, has been assigned to Northern Lehigh and Northwestern Lehigh school districts.
