The goal of the NCLB Partnership is to prepare highly qualified teachers through extensive clinical field experiences and tutelage under the watchful eyes of master teachers and university faculty.

The cornerstone of the NCLB Partnership is collaboration. All of our clinical field experiences rely on collaboration with our K-12 colleagues. Without our public schools, we have no teacher education program. The NCLB Partnership enriches the concept of collaboration. USA interns are immersed in the K-12 classroom from the first day. Each intern is assigned a Mentor Teacher, a master teacher. Interns learn and assume the responsibilities of paraprofessionals, working alongside teachers to provide instruction for children.
