3120.06 - SELECTING TEACHERS/INTERNS

The Board of Education encourages cooperation with State approved colleges and universities in the training of teachers and interns, because District programs offer 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.

Colleges and universities should first make contact with the Superintendent regarding placement of a teacher or intern.

The Superintendent shall make the final placement of teachers or interns.

Professional staff members who agree to serve as supervisors of teachers or interns may accept honoraria or stipends 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 contracts.

The following conditions shall also be met:

 A.The institution making the assignment shall provide on-going supervision in a manner suitable to the Superintendent.
 B.The supervising teacher or administrator must agree to work effectively with both the teacher or intern and the institutional supervisor.

If at any time the quality of teaching or internship is judged to be inferior or disruptive to the on-going program, the Superintendent may request withdrawal of that person from the program.

The Board also authorizes the Superintendent to provide, in cooperation with appropriate colleges and universities, a "field experience" program in order for selected interns to gain first-hand knowledge of and experience in a school environment.

The Superintendent may terminate a teaching program if one (1) or more aspects of the program are not of high quality or meeting District needs or expectations.

In addition to the those described in the negotiated, collectively-bargained agreement, the following conditions shall also apply:

 A.The institution making the assignment shall provide adequate follow-up supervision.
 B.The supervising teacher must agree to work effectively with both the teacher and the institutional supervisor.
 C.If at any time the quality of 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.
