Teacher Candidates are aspiring educators who enroll in practicum courses as they complete UMSL's teacher preparation program. They are immersed in Studio School sites where they are regarded as full members of the staff. They achieve measureable Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) with real P-12 learners.
Clinical Educators are expert teachers who frequently visit Teacher Candidates at their Studio Schools sites to provide support and supervision. They lead seminars, give one-on-one guidance, and foster partnerships for collaboration and intentional reflection.
Clinical Teachers are working educators who bring Teacher Candidates into their classrooms and empower them to achieve positive outcomes with actual P-12 students. They guide the emerging teachers' induction into the school, the district, and the profession.
