Placement will be made in consultation with the building principal and in light of the availability of field based supervision. Mentor teachers must have three years of teaching experience, have a masters degree, and be recommended by their principal. Secondary teacher candidates who have minors will, whenever possible, have a student teaching or participation assignment that includes instructional opportunities in that minor. Teacher candidates completing an all-grade certification program will be placed at both the elementary and secondary levels whenever possible. Student teaching should provide teacher candidates experiences with diverse student populations and in exemplary classrooms or schools.
Assignments are currently available in Louisville as well as in Southern Indiana.
