The Director of Field Placements will secure student teaching placements. Students
should not contact a school district to request a placement.
3.
Be sure our office has your correct address and phone number.
You will be notified of your placement by mail. Arrange to meet
with your cooperating teacher and the building principal as
soon as possible.
4.
The student teaching approval process requires multiple
levels of decision making, including but not limited to:
superintendent agreement to host a student teacher,
school selection, teacher selection, school board approval,
formal notification of placement to our office, and, finally,
notification to our student teachers.
5.
When a student teacher is not approved, we send a
request to a second district. We can only activate one
placement request at a time out of respect for the
hosting school district’s internal process, as well as
honoring the reciprocity process between
Monmouth University and school districts.
Timeline for Receipt of Placement
• Some districts process placements for both fall and spring
semesters soon after the requests are received.
• Other districts process placements separately for the fall
and spring semesters. Placements may not be confirmed
until just prior to the start of the semester.
YOU MUST REGISTER FOR
STUDENT TEACHING!
Submission of the application is for
student teaching placement
only.
