Student Teacher Supervisors/Cooperating Teacher Payment Program

Any Kentucky school teacher who is supervising a student teacher for an accredited college or university, who has a valid Kentucky teaching certificate, and who has 3 years teaching experience and a Rank II (or, if a teacher doesn't have a Rank II but has earned 15 hours of college credit toward that rank within the first five years of teaching) is eligible for compensation from the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

In 2008-2009, Kentucky school teachers were paid $13.40 per week of supervisory work or $107.44 for eight (8) weeks of supervision.
