- Oversee the arrangement and assignment of the student teacher to an eligible Co-operating Teacher
- Orient the student teacher to the school and acquaint them with the social environment, philosophy, policies, regulations, etc.
- Assist in the coordination of the student teacher's activities in the school and ensure that the student teacher is exposed to a variety and range of experiences
- Act as liaison with between McGill's Internships & Student Affairs Office, the Field Supervisor and the Co-operating Teacher, as needed
