Student Teacher Information

Honors students can apply to co-teach an Honors seminar for their senior capstone experience in Honors. The application form is available on our website: http://honors.unm.edu/senior-teaching_application.html. Instructors are allowed only one Student Teacher (and one Student Teacher Prep) per semester due to the time and effort expected for mentoring. Students must have either taken the course they are proposing to co-teach or have taken a course with you. NOTE: In the event of a course cancellation, instructors may not "shift" the Student Teacher to some other seminar the student did not prepare.

If yes, please provide the name of the Student Teacher below.
