3120.06 - SELECTING STUDENT TEACHERS
The Board of Education encourages cooperation with State approved colleges and universities in the training of student teachers because the public school offers an essential ingredient - direct experience with students and teachers at work in the classroom, but certain safeguards have been found to be necessary for the best interests of all concerned.
The Superintendent will make the final placement of student teachers.
The supervising teacher shall hold no less than a standard certificate and shall have had no less than three (3) years of successful teaching experience in the area of assignment. Any exception shall be made within the current guidelines set forth in "Laws and Regulations Governing the Certification of Teachers."
The certificated personnel of the Board who agree to serve as supervisors of teacher education students may accept an honorarium or stipend directly from the college/university for those services rendered outside the regular school day and above and beyond the duties and responsibilities specified in their teaching contract.
The following conditions shall also be met:
| A. | The institution making the assignment shall provide adequate follow-up supervision. | |
| B. | The supervising teacher must agree to work effectively with both the student teacher and the institutional supervisor. | |
| C. | If at any time the quality of student teaching is judged to be inferior or disruptive to the on-going class program by the supervising teacher or principal, the Superintendent may request withdrawal of the original permit. |
Student teachers and administrative interns who will receive any financial remuneration from the District must complete a DMA form with no positive indications that material assistance has been provided to a terrorist organization before working in the District (see Policy 8120).
Student teachers and administrative interns also must pass a background check performed by the Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation (see Policy 3121).
