I had the SHADIEST experience hosting a student teacher for them. The student was wonderful, however, unlike EVERY other college & university there is apparently NO compensation for all the time, professionalism & hard work one dedicates to their students, if they can help it.
I was originally told I would receive 1.5 credits. Then it changed to a $500 stipend. Fast forward 2 mos and when I reached out about the $500 stipend, I was told since our contract was expired during the time period I hosted THEIR student, they're unable to offer me any compensation at all. I hope it was worth the $500 to lose future teachers ever accepting student teachers or student observers from their school. How they can accept $3-$4k per student in tuition, and then find a loophole to avoid compensating the actual people who educated their students for them is unconscionable. read more
