Clinical Educator/Mentor Teacher Resources

Thank you to all of our Clinical Educators/Mentoring Teachers for the work you do with our aspiring educators! Certainly, your role in our Educator Preparation Program is a very important one. You will be guiding and having an impact on the next generation of teachers! On this page are are many of the resources for your role, but please don't hesitate to contact the course instructor/faculty supervisor or the Education Coordinator if you have any questions or concerns.

Please note!

The Hanover College Educator Preparation Program utilizes TEVERA as our student and cooperating teacher data and assessment software. All rubrics will be score/completed in Tevera along with monitoring student time logs. Students must assign the appropriate rubrics and forms to their cooperating teachers.

Cooperating teachers receive an invitation to register for the platform via an email. Please do so right away. For Methods and Student Teaching, please note the difference in a lesson observation and a candidate evaluation.

The following links should be reviewed for assistance but the best information is the training in Tevera under LEARNING SPACE. Please do review and refer to our Guides for timelines and expectations. Curriculum and expectations questions should be addressed with the faculty instructor for the course in which you are serving as a mentor teacher.

*Please note that to be eligible for any stipend or PGPs, all documentation must be completed in Tevera.
