The Clinical Educator Training (CET) course is designed to provide both school-based and university-based teacher educators with skills needed to instruct and supervise teacher candidates completing initial teacher preparation programs. The course meets FDOE state mandates for CET and addresses the following required skills:

  1. Applying the research around mindset to work with developing educators
  2. Conducting content planning conferences
  3. Being expert observers and diagnosticians of teaching and learning
  4. Providing evidence-based, non-evaluative feedback

In addition, the CET course at USF addresses the collaborative triad of support between university, school site, and the candidate, and it provides guidance to address mentee struggles and challenges as well. The course is asynchronous, work at your own pace, and consists of 5 engaging modules.

The certificate of completion credentials teachers to host USF candidates and final interns in their classrooms.
