A Master Clinician is an expert teacher with a variety of teaching experiences in P-12 schools as well as higher education. He or she serves as a liaison to promote positive relationships between local school systems and universities. Master clinicians share their expertise by teaching field-based courses, working with teacher mentors, conducting workshops and seminars, facilitating performance assessments, and providing leadership for teacher candidates. By demonstrating research-based practices and helping to improve student outcomes, master clinicians prepare and equip future teachers to have a positive impact on student performance from the first time they enter the classroom.
