Field Experience

Placements are made in a variety of settings and involve the professional judgement of the Department of Teacher Education.
All field placements, including student teaching, are made by the Field Services Office. All contacts with the K-12 schools are made by the Department of Teacher Education. Students may not initiate their own placement contacts or arrangements. Violation of these guidelines is grounds for suspension or dismissal from the program.

Students should anticipate the need to make their own arrangements for transportation to field placement sites.
Students will not be placed in schools that they have attended or in which relatives work or are in attendance. This information must be disclosed by the candidate.
