Candidates must attend all class meetings and field site days. Absences are extremely discouraged. On a field site day, in the case of an emergency or illness, students must notify their cooperating teacher, their college supervisor, and their site school. Absences must be made up as soon as possible, at the convenience of the cooperating teacher. Remember that the children and the teachers are counting on you to attend as scheduled.
Candidates are responsible for making arrangements for car pooling to the site school.
It is important to be on time at the designated meeting place for transportation arrangements and be sure to contribute to the cost of travel. Use the commute time to learn from each other's experiences. Check with the cooperating teacher regarding which stations give weather reports and be sure to listen to the radio for snow cancellations for your site school in the case of inclement weather. The classroom teacher will provide feedback on your lesson each week you are at the field site. You should discuss your lessons with the cooperating teacher both before and after you have taught.
