The Pre-Professional Laboratory Experience course is a semester-long early field experience involving prospective teacher education candidates in routine classroom activities and observation experiences on the elementary and secondary level. The set of handbooks which was developed to accompany the course includes a student handbook, a supervising teacher handbook, and a building principal handbook. The teacher handbook contains information on working with the teacher aide, suggested activities for the aides, discussion of types of evaluations and reviews and helpful hints. The handbook includes the following forms: Application Form, Information for the Supervising Teacher, Health Form, Suggested Activities Lists (Elementary and Secondary levels), Teacher Aide Experiences Checklist, Teacher Aide Attendance Register, Mid-Term Teacher Aid Review, Mid-Term Teacher Aide Conference, Mid-Term Teacher Aide Self-Evaluation, Teacher Aide Final Evaluation, Pre-Professional Laboratory Course Evaluation, and Daily Log Sheets.
