General Summary

The Department of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures is in search of a pool of qualified persons interested in the supervision of teacher candidates in World Language (French, German, and Spanish) education. Supervisors are needed in both Central Illinois and the Chicagoland area.

This position involves mentoring teacher candidates in their semester-long student teaching internship. The university supervisor is a liaison between ISU and the school district personnel, primarily the cooperating teacher.
