Music Education at Penn State
Student Teaching - Partnership for Music Teacher Excellence
The Partnership for Music Teacher Excellence was established in 1993 under Dr. Lynn Drafall. The music education faculty began placing and observing their own student teachers at that time, establishing partnerships with school districts and mentor teachers. Since then the partnerships now includes 78 school districts throughout Pennsylvania and approximately 220 cooperating music educators. PSU values the expertise of its mentor teachers and their contribution to the professional growth of each future music educator.
Placements of Current Student Teachers
