Welcome to the Missouri State University Teaching Academy website hosted by the Field Experiences and Clinical Practice division of Student Services in the College of Education.  

Nationally recognized as a “Distinguished Program in Teacher Education” by the Association for Teacher Educators in 2004, the Missouri State University, College of Education Elementary Student Teaching Academy is based upon the professional development school model of training pre-service teacher candidates in field sites. This particular training model augments the existing field-based program in elementary education at Missouri State University by providing a seamless transition from in-school methods training to guided pedagogical practice under the auspices of public school/university faculty, school administration and a university supervisor/coordinator.
