Five dyads consisting of an intern and a cooperating teacher participated. I gathered quantitative data through analysis of 20 videotaped teaching episodes: one of each intern and cooperating teacher at the beginning and near the end of each placement. Two recognized experts in music student teaching viewed the episodes in randomized order. The experts scored the episodes on 30 items using the Survey of Teaching Effectiveness (STE). The experts also gave an overall rating of each lesson's quality. Additionally, I tallied statements of reinforcement as either specific or nonspecific and as either statements of approval or disapproval . An additional category was found during analysis: nonfunctional communication . I gathered quantitative and qualitative data with a one-page demographic survey and by individual interviews. Though the participants were unanimous in stating that the interns improved as teachers during the placement, no quantitative differences were found. Interns all experienced fulfilled expectations, effective preparation, capable application, increased professionalization, and successful induction. Cooperating teachers were agreed that their interns came into the placement prepared to be successful in student teaching. / Committee in charge: Harry Price, Chairperson, Music;
