college/university?
They have student teaching for elementary education which would be perfect for what I
want to do. You can take it as a class and college supervisors come and watch how you are
teaching the students. They also have evaluations with their cooperating teacher every
once in a while. They have weekly seminars so they can understand more about teaching.
You also get to create a teacher portfolio from doing this.

assessment just makes sure that the teacher is ready to teach an actual class and be
successful.
