Handbook

Field Placements

All field placements for Secondary & HPE courses, including student teaching, are arranged in conjunction with the Department and the Office for Clinical Experiences. Candidates are not to solicit their own placement. While candidate needs are considered in assigning placements, no particular placement can be guaranteed. Transportation to and from field placements is the responsibility of the individual candidate.

Teacher education candidates must have their criminal background, child abuse, FBI fingerprinting, and tuberculosis clearances by the first day of class for a course that includes a field experience.
