It is recommended strongly that a student not engage in part-time employment, which might interfere with carrying out the full responsibilities of student teaching. Similarly, student teachers are advised to minimize course work concurrent with student teaching. Withdrawals from student teaching must be completed by the student teacher in accordance with University regulations. Notification of withdrawal must be in written form and submitted to the Office of Field Placement. The Office of Financial and Academic Records also must be notified of the change in status.
Students attend weekly seminars with their supervisors.
Special seminars on child abuse, substance abuse, inclusion and multiculturalism are also scheduled during the semester. Students must observe all registration requirements designated by the University Office of Financial and Academic Records. The Office of Field Placement will provide each student with the Guide for Student Teaching. A request for a change of placement or change of supervisor may be initiated by the student teacher, the University supervisor, other University faculty member, or a cooperating teacher or administrator in the local school. The Director of Field Services will review the request with all parties involved and facilitate changes when needed.
