Elementary and special education student teachers gain practical classroom teaching experience during this immersive semester. The student teaching experience is a period of 14 weeks, and candidates are placed full time in local schools. Throughout the experience, candidates are supervised by professors from the teacher education program and experienced PK–12th grade teachers. This classroom experience is only open to seniors. Candidates must be admitted into the teacher preparation program prior to student teaching. During the student teaching seminar, a professor meets with candidates bimonthly and ensures that they are prepared for certification and the transition to employment. This course includes Stage 4 Fieldwork, and clearances are required. Contact the Office of Field Experience and Certification for more information.
