It is the student's responsibility to secure forms and materials necessary to apply for student teaching. Such materials are obtained from the Teacher Licensure Office and must be returned prior to established deadlines.
Deadlines are one semester earlier for external student teaching.
A limited number of external placements in accredited Christian schools are available for students who meet the criteria for external placement. Liberty University seeks to locate student teachers in positive classroom settings with well-qualified cooperating teachers. It is the policy of the Liberty University School of Education that student teaching experiences are performed in settings which are supervised directly by faculty members from Liberty University. For this reason, it is not possible to complete student teaching at another institution and then transfer credit to Liberty University for the purpose of meeting student teaching requirements. It is also not possible to be issued credit for student teaching because one has had a period of non-certified classroom employment.
