Public School CentersA number of public schools in the Kansas City metropolitan area cooperate with the School of Education by making available their facilities and staffs for observations, student teaching and demonstrations. These schools are designated centers because of the close relationships that have been developed between UMKC and public schools. The use of the centers ensures that observations and student teaching are closely interwoven with the coursework throughout the program to provide close union of theory and practice. During student teaching, students are under the guidance of cooperating teachers and members of the University's education staff. Weekly seminars are a required part of the program.
