Best Teaching Practices Exposition

Each year, our Best Teaching Practices Student Exposition gets better and better. This is a mandatory session for graduating student teachers only and it includes a Teacher Fair!

This is a unique networking venue where student teachers, along with their display boards, answer any questions you have on their teaching philosophy and their student teaching experience.

As an employer, you will have the opportunity to recruit them on the spot! At the conclusion of this event, the student teachers are ready to sign contracts or letters of intent to teach at your school.
