Goals and Objectives of Student Teaching

It is the student teacher's opportunity to, within a structured, supervised field experience, refine his/her skills, integrate theory and practice, and demonstrate his/her accomplishment of the Malone University Teacher Candidate Proficiencies and the Ohio Standards for the Teaching Profession.
