“Before CU Denver students majoring in teacher education start their internship, there is some matchmaking involved. The School of Education & Human Development’s Office of Partnerships is the launch pad for the next generation of teachers to receive motivational, on-the-job experiences before entering their own classrooms. The Office seeks to find the perfect match between each future teacher and school in the hopes that the teacher candidate’s strengths and needs during their internship will fit with the school’s offerings and opportunities. The person behind making these puzzle pieces fit together is the Office of Partnerships & Teacher Education Manager, Rachel Cornelius.”
