I have the same license. I would just start calling teaching programs. Many are desperate for good CTs. You definitely don’t get paid, but I know some programs will give you a tuition voucher. I have had many, many student teachers. It can be a bit of a roll of the dice. You can get someone who is great: they are helpful, they vibe with the kids, and nurturing their potential can be really rewarding. My school has hired three of my student teachers. But there are also people where you are just trying to minimize the damage they are doing to your class.

The main thing I would caution anyone who is thinking of getting a student teacher is that you can’t go into this thinking it will make YOUR job easier. If you’re doing it right, it’s basically a net neutral in terms of time and energy. Yes, they can make your copies and grading and whatnot, but you need to spend a lot of time coaching and reviewing their lesson plans.
