The Essential Cooperating Teacher

How can we develop a cadre of Master/Cooperating Teachers with the dispositions, knowledge, and skills needed to create and support a new generation of highly effective World Language teachers?
**Enduring Understanding:** Quality teaching of World Languages and Cultures will result in more linguistically and culturally competent students who are able to successfully participate in and contribute to the global society of the 21st century. An effective Master/Cooperating Teacher possesses the disposition, knowledge, and skills to prepare new teachers who will positively impact the future of the profession of teaching World Languages and Cultures.
