Clinical Experiences for Teacher Education Students

The College of Education and Human Services is committed to providing teacher education students with a wide variety of field-based, clinical experiences. Because of this commitment, all students will participate in at least one urban field experience. Field experience is required as part of the College's core for all undergraduate students or certification students seeking to complete an internship experience. Fingerprinting is required prior to participating in field experiences. 

Field Experience Courses 

Field experience courses must be successfully completed prior to internship. Students should meet with their academic advisor to plan the semester in which to enroll in each course. These courses require a minimum of 60 hours at designated sites to be completed over the course of a semester. Students should consider this requirement when scheduling courses.Students should register for the course and section that corresponds with their major and note the school site associated with that course and section.

Internship

Placing an intern requires advanced planning by the College of Education and Human Services and the public schools. For this reason, it is the student's responsibility to see that application for internship is filed by the fourth Friday of the semester prior to the semester of enrollment for internship, excluding the summer terms. Placement assignments are final and may not be changed. Because of the heavy responsibilities and commitment involved in internship, a student normally is not allowed to enroll in any additional courses during the internship period. Any exceptions to this rule must be initiated at the time of application beginning with a student's academic advisor.

Fingerprinting

State rules mandate that students participating in field and clinical experiences in school districts must be fingerprinted. These field experiences include 老澳门资料 students enrolled in any course requiring a field component, internship and all courses held at school sites or that require students to work with children in a school setting.

  • The school districts in conjunction with the university have developed procedures for fingerprinting university students which must be followed.
  • Students should follow the procedures for the school district in which they will be conducting their field experience. These instructions can be obtained in the Office of Academic Support and Information Services.
  • Students not fingerprinted will not receive school placements and subsequently will not be able to complete course requirements. This will adversely affect your grade for the course.
  • Fingerprints cannot be transferred from one district to another.
  • No student will receive a placement until they have received clearance from the district.
  • Persons that have been fingerprinted through another institution i.e. FSCJ or Substitutes should complete the "PREVIOUS FINGERPRINTING CLEARANCE REQUEST" form and return to the Office of Academic Support and Information Services. You will need to provide your name, social security number, month and year previously fingerprinted, and the course name. This information will be forwarded to the district for clearance approval.
