Office of Field Experiences

  

Student teacher working with student.

Over the years the Office of Field Experiences has coordinated thousands of student placements in the upstate area.  We are proud of the strong partnerships we have made with district officials, principals and teachers. We would like to thank all the school administrators, classroom teachers and university supervisors who have helped us over the years to mentor and train our teacher education candidates.

We, in the Field Experiences Office, work hard to find field placements for your practicum experiences in area schools and child care centers. These experiences will give you real world experiences to prepare you for your career in teaching. Please take each placement seriously. For your field experience, we ask you to provide us with your schedule so we can make the placement according to the best available times for you and for the schools.  Please ensure that you make us aware of any special needs, such as a lack of personal transportation, so we can take these needs into consideration when we coordinate your placement.  Field placements are required for the courses listed on the left navigation bar. Information pertinent to your field placements is also listed on the navigation bar.

A short note from the coordinator, Mr. Bill Millar:

For all of us who find joy in working in public education, I give you a quote from former President Teddy Roosevelt.

   "Far and away the best prize life offers is the chance to work hard at work worth doing."

That sums it up for us.  Good luck in your teacher education program!
