Description

Student teaching is the culminating experience in the music teacher preparation program at Eastern Arizona College. This is to give music education majors practical experience in a classroom setting, and is a time of transition from a student role to a professional role. It is exemplified by the fact that the student teacher becomes an important and integral part of the host school system under the direction of an expert teacher and a college site coordinator. This experience provides students with the opportunity to integrate theoretical information in a practical, applied situation in order to prepare the student teacher for the initial step towards a career in music education.
