Field Experience
 

Important Announcement For All Teacher Education Graduate Students: 

New forms for field experience documentation have been developed. These forms will be used to document field experience hours.

All graduate students accepted into our program Fall 2008 (or after), must complete a total of 300 hours of field experience (not counting practicum) by the end of their coursework. Students will need to document extra hours to complete the total 300 hour minimum. If students are employed as teachers or paraprofessionals in a school, they will complete their field experience requirements in their classroom.

Below is a description of the four attachments:

1. Employed Field Experience - This form is for students who are currently employed as a teacher or paraprofessional. These students will complete their field experience requirements in their classroom.

2. Field Experience Placement - This form is for students who are not currently employed as a teacher.

3. Field Experience Documentation - This form is only for students who are not currently employed as a teacher. Again, a total of 300 hours must be documented by the end of graduate coursework.

4. Alternative Field Placements - This document identifies alternative field placements for students who are not currently teaching (and need to complete their 300 hours). We will be updating this document as we learn of new placement opportunities.

5.  Life Credit for Field Experiences - The requirement of 300 hours of field experience can be partially satisfied by approved previous life experiences. The Department of Teacher Education has designed a specific process for previous life experiences to be documented and accepted. All documentation should be submitted to your academic advisor. See attached form for more details.
