Student Teaching Options

Traditional field placement or student teaching placement is typically a school district semester of hands-on final fieldwork, under the supervision of a cooperating teacher, where students practice and apply all they have learned, including creating lesson plans, applying assessment tools, and gaining insights on administrative duties.

The director determines what type of field placement(s) is required for the candidate based upon previous fieldwork, and departmental and DPI requirements.  Classroom placements are then sought working in tandem with candidates, university departments, relevant school administrators and human resource offices.
