Site Supervisor - Undergaduate

Position Overview

Our supervisors review lesson plans, observe lessons, provide support on developing lessons, provide oral and written feedback, and serve as mentors to future educators. All supervision is aligned with state standards and Alverno’s innovative outcomes based educational programs. Depending on where students are in the program, their intended certification, and their methods courses, supervisors may supervise each student anywhere from once to four times in a given semester.

Areas of Need

Looking forward, our biggest need is for Spanish speaking supervisors. Supervisors who speak Spanish and could supervise in bilingual classrooms, mostly in MPS, will have the priority in selection.

Our other growing needs are for either combination certification SPED/Regular ed individuals, those who reside in the Racine/Kenosha or Waukesha/Oconomowoc areas, and any supervisors who hold administrator licenses. If you do not meet those criteria, you are still welcome to apply, but please know that supervision may be limited to a few students based on student enrollments.
