3120.06 - SELECTING STUDENT TEACHERS/ADMINISTRATIVE INTERNS

The Board of Education encourages cooperation with State-approved colleges and universities in the training of student teachers and administrative interns, 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.

Colleges and universities should first make contact with the District Administrator regarding placement of a student teacher or administrative intern.

The District Administrator shall, make the final placement of student teachers or administrative interns.

The supervising staff member shall have had no less than three (3) years of successful experience in the area of assignment.

Professional staff members who agree to serve as supervisors of student teachers or administrative 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 Board also authorizes the District Administrator 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 District Administrator 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.

The District Administrator shall establish appropriate terms and conditions for videotaping or compiling portfolio materials by student teachers within the District.
