Co-Teaching: Collaboration that Makes a Difference

No matter what stage of field experience you find yourself, as a member of the School of Education at 天美传媒制片厂, you are called "to serve as reflective practitioners and leaders in partnership with and for the human community" (see the School of Education mission statement, paragraph one).

The SOE Field Office looks forward to helping you expand your experiences reaching and teaching young people in the St. Louis community.
