Housing for student teachers is available through Washington Seminar, though it is not required that students live in that housing. The Washington Seminar office keeps a current listing of affordable, furnished apartments in the D.C. area that will be available to married Urban Education students. For more information on housing, click here . Students will be required to student teach Monday through Thursday each week. Fridays are spent with the Washington Seminar students attending classes and briefings.
Business attire is required.
Students are strongly encouraged to take a car with them to Washington. Car pools will be arranged so that each student is dropped off and picked up at the school to which he or she is assigned. Student teachers will not be allowed to use public transportation to travel to work. Under these conditions, the Urban Education program is reasonably safe. A member of the BYU faculty will act as a liaison between the student teacher and the school or cooperating teacher when necessary.
