All education students are expected to spend some time off campus in school settings during the sophomore year as part of ED 278. Refunds for the meal plan for campus residents will be made on a pro-rated basis for time periods spent off campus in elementary and secondary field experiences. Advisors will guide students in this process. More information and guidelines are available in the Education Office. The portfolio should be submitted to the Education Division Office, MH-212, at least one week before the scheduled portfolio interview.
Student teaching is the culmination of the undergraduate teacher preparation program.
It provides the prospective teacher with classroom practice under the guidance of an experienced teacher in a field setting. Applications are reviewed by the Director of Student Teaching who will notify students of their acceptance. The Student Teaching Office will communicate with student teaching sites to make arrangements for placement of student teachers. Students should not make arrangements on their own with school administrators or supervising teachers. These assignments require special arrangements for supervision with other colleges and qualified individuals.
