These will be shared at the midterm meeting. Seven personal contacts between instructor and students are required. These will include two visitations by the instructor to students' classrooms, and five meetings on campus. Liability Insurance Students in the College of Education programs need tort liability insurance. They, not the State University of West Georgia, are responsible for things done while participating in professional clinical experiences.
Financial penalties can be extreme, particularly when public school students are injured.
Students are to obtain professional tort liability insurance through one of the professional organizations or from some other source. Information concerning these organizations is available from each College of Education department. No College ofEducation student may participate in a professional clinical experience without providing proof of insurance to the Director of Clinical Experiences. Only those students being given credit for experience in a school, institution, or agency where they are employed full time as a certified educator or in an equivalent professional capacity are exempt from this policy. Students may resubmit work for a reevaluation.
