Student teaching

Our hands-on, innovative approach to education will help you develop your potential and passion as a teacher in countless ways. You’ll observe and assist in classrooms, learn effective teaching strategies, engage in early field experiences and complete a semester of full-time student teaching. Many of these experiences will begin starting your sophomore year. As a result, you’ll increase your confidence and skills as an educator before stepping foot into a classroom of your own.

Support at every step

As a student in the College of Education and Human Services, you’ll be assigned a faculty mentor who’ll provide you one-on-one support during your time at Rider. Your mentor will personally advise and assist you in developing your specific programs, and guide you through your field studies and student teaching.
