Student Teaching Application

The Single Subject Credential English Program encourages students to consider where they would like to student teach during EDSS 300G.  In addition to following course protocol for observations, students should use the required observation hours in their coursework as an opportunity to network with potential cooperating teachers.  Please note, however, that teaching assignments are made through the cooperative efforts of the Credential Advisor, SSCP University Coordinator, district administrator, school site administrator, and Cooperating Teacher. Student Teachers are not permitted to arrange their own student teaching assignments. Student Teachers are assigned to local schools that have agreements in place with the university as part of the teacher training process. The Student Teaching Handbook provides more information about this process.

Applicants for student teaching must follow the procedures here.  Once students have their supporting documentation, they must meet with the credential coordinator to get a signature and discuss potential sites for student teaching.  Applicants will be prompted to list their preferences for student teaching. 

Students interested in fulfilling the student teacher requirements via internship should familiarize themselves with the internship requirements at the Single Subject website. Students must have the approval of the social science advisor in order to intern, and it is our current policy to support only candidates who have completed the subject matter waiver.

Candidates must submit a Student Teaching Application during the semester prior to the one in which they wish to student teach.  

Applications to student teach in Fall semester must be submitted no later than March 15^th. Applications for Spring semester student teaching must be submitted no later than October 3^rd. Deadlines are firm.
