Welcome to Part B of the required cooperating teacher training mandated in 16 KAR 5:040.

The Part B portion of the cooperating teacher training requirement is provided at no cost to all cooperating teacher candidates. Most Educator Preparation Programs (EPPs) offer Part B through online video training.

The following training video is designed to help prepare you for your supervisory role with an introduction to the best practices when supporting a student teacher.

After Viewing the Video

You must send an email to the coordinator at the university with which you are associated that includes the information requested below. Contact information for the coordinator can be found at EPP Placement Coordinators.

Your message must include both: 

• A statement verifying that you have reviewed all the material in the training module. The statement may be as simple as: I am writing to verify that I have reviewed all the material in this training module. 

• A brief narrative describing at least one idea gleaned from the training module to use when supervising student teachers. 

Please note: Once you have confirmed the completion of this training, the EPP will upload confirmation of your completion for Part B into the KECS system. You may also receive a certificate from the EPP coordinator with whom you are associated.
