Clinical experience policies

There are a variety of policies and procedures we've developed to ensure clear communication between the University, the classroom, and our student teacher. While this entire handbook describes our expectations during clinical experiences, the following policies describe the principles we follow for certain significant issues that may arise:

Types of field experiences

Background checks

Absences from student teaching

Use of student teachers as substitutes

Withdrawal or removal of a student teacher from a placement

Student case conferences

Liability coverage during clinical experiences

Teacher strikes

Payment of honoraria to cooperating teachers

Board of Teaching rules for student teaching placements

Equal opportunity statement

Policy statement on sexual harassment
