If either the Austin Teacher Program faculty or authorities in the cooperating school believe a student is not performing satisfactorily and remediation has been unsuccessful, the student may be withdrawn from Education 584 or 594. Students should also model the professional behavior described in Learner-Centered Schools for Texas and the Texas Code of Ethics for Teachers. Regular attendance and punctuality at your field assignment are mandatory. Interns should follow their schools procedures for securing a substitute. Failure to abide by any of the above policies, or excessive absences from the field assignment, may keep a student from earning an S in Education 584 or 594.
