Types of Placements
STUDENT TEACHING PLACEMENTS (PLACED BY HUMAN RESOURCES)
A student teaching fieldwork placement consists of a student-teacher being placed in a Student Teacher Mentor’s classroom for 14-18 weeks (depending upon the university program). Student-teachers are enrolled in university credential programs and must do their fieldwork in a Student-Teacher Mentor's classroom. All student teaching placements must go through the Human Resources Department.
EARLY FIELDWORK OBSERVATIONS (NOT PLACED BY HUMAN RESOURCES)
Some universities have a requirement for their student-teachers to complete observation hours. For instance, in the CSUSB teaching credential program, students are required to observe in a classroom for one semester (or 96 hours). A credential student can go to the school site with a letter from the university credential office, indicating they need to observe in a teacher’s classroom. The student-teacher should have all the paperwork ready to show the principal, such as a certificate of clearance, TB test, and fingerprints. The principal can assign the student to a teacher’s classroom to observe. This is not considered a student-teaching placement and should be handled through the school site.
UNDERGRADUATE STUDENT OBSERVATIONS (NOT PLACED BY HUMAN RESOURCES)
Many times undergraduate students need to observe in classrooms. Should an undergraduate student need to observe in an Beaumont USD classroom, the student should determine the school site where they would like to do the observations. The student would need to fill out the Site Clearance Form to start the process. The site clearance process does include a DOJ/FBI background check and TB results verification. (This student is not in a credential program, and would not have a certificate of clearance, fingerprints, or TB test; hence the need for the background check.) This is not considered a student teaching placement and should be handled through the school site.
