Job Summary:

The Elementary Education Field Supervisor plays a vital role as a link between PK-12 schools and the UW, fostering clear communication among cooperating teachers, student teachers, and various school administrations. Supervisors offer support and coaching to both student teachers and cooperating teachers to establish a productive teaching and learning environment for pre-service teachers' field experiences.

Primary job tasks include observing, guiding, and reviewing student teachers' progress, with a strong emphasis on their engagement with learners, thoughtful planning, effective teaching strategies, varied assessment methods, and professionalism. Supervisors facilitate reflective thinking, provide constructive feedback, and collaborate on tailored growth plans when needed.

Serving as mentors, field supervisors ensure alignment with Elementary Education program guidelines in field experiences. In addition to work observing and mentoring pre-service teachers in K-12 school settings, Elementary Education Supervisors attend weekly meetings with the cohort leader and fellow supervisors, co-facilitate weekly cohort seminars, and attend monthly supervisor professional development.

Workload and Time Commitment

We are hiring to expand our pool of field supervisors. This is a part-time role and supervisor appointments will vary by semester based on program needs, without a guaranteed appointment each semester. Elementary Education has a greater need for supervisors each Spring. When possible, supervisors will continue with a cohort lead and group of pre-service teachers for a full 3-semester clinical sequence to maintain continuity within the program.

Most appointments are 25-50% of full-time (10 - 20 hours per week) and follow the University's academic calendar. Supervision primarily occurs during school hours, though occasional meetings or professional development may take place outside of these hours.

Key Job Responsibilities:
  • Observation/Coaching Cycles and Triad Meetings with assigned pre-service teachers and cooperating teachers. (Supervising 12-13 practicum students, or 8-9 student teachers, counts as 50% of a workload).
