The 2025 Cooperating Teacher Conference, is designed to support and develop cooperating teachers who mentor student teachers from various universities. This year’s conference focuses on strengthening the preparation of new teachers and equipping cooperating teachers with strategies and resources to enhance student-teacher development. Schools with new teachers at their sites will benefit greatly, as the conference offers insights into best practices for nurturing beginning educators and fostering a collaborative learning environment. Whether you're currently a cooperating teacher or interested in becoming one, this conference offers valuable insights into supporting student-teachers in the classroom, with FFA, and through supervised agricultural experiences.
