 Student Teaching/Observation
The teacher education program is field based, requiring all students to spend up to 30 hours per semester in local elementary or secondary schools and agencies, to work with classroom teachers, to attend meetings of school boards, to tutor children, etc., throughout the program. Students must complete a minimum of 100 hours of fieldwork, 30 of these in a diverse setting, prior to student teaching. Placements may be secured by signing up in the Education Resource Center.
Admission to student teaching will be granted only to students whose grade point average meets this standard.
Students who have met the standards of the teacher education program and who have successfully completed student teaching may be recommended for certification. The final decision regarding recommendation is reserved to the chairperson of the division of teacher education in consultation with the faculty.
For more information, contact Christine Markham, Director of Clinical Experiences at cmarkham@stac.edu or call the Education Resource Center at 845-398-4149.
