This past Monday, the annual New Jersey Distinguished Clinical Intern and Cooperating Teachers Award Ceremony was held. Since 1985, this ceremony has been jointly presented by the New Jersey Department of Education and the New Jersey Association of Colleges for Teacher Education to recognize the year’s fifteen top graduates of educator preparation programs in New Jersey’s colleges and universities.

Rider University was proud to have three students in attendance:

Kevin Catalon (Music Ed), who received the additional 'with distinction' recognition, along with his cooperating teacher Adam Good (East Brunswick HS).

Erin Mattingly (Elem Ed and Special Ed), and her cooperating teacher Chris Barbieri (Millstone River - WW-P).

Mitchell Meyer (Secondary Social Studies) and his cooperating teacher Brian Mueller (Fisher MS - Ewing).

We congratulate all of our students, and thank all of their cooperating teachers, along with their faculty and staff who supported the nomination process and who attended the event!

Our student teachers have the opportunity to spend a portion of their semester teaching abroad thanks to the work of people like Dr. Diane Casale-Giannola, Dr. Erica Spence-Umstead, our faculty supervisors, and the work of the Rider University Office of International Education.

Our Spring 2026 international student teachers, Caresse Hueck, Annette Fornah, and Erin Foley, recently returned from their time abroad and had the opportunity to discuss their experiences and to present what they learned. Their presentation highlighted the different cultures and varied educational systems that they experienced abroad and compared them to their domestic placements here in NJ.

Thank you, Caresse, Annette, and Erin for representing Rider and our teacher preparation programs across the globe! We're so glad you had such great experiences, and we thank all involved in this program's success.
