| Policy
on Substituting and Employment of Student Teachers
Occasionally
it is permissible in the absence of his/her cooperating teacher
for a short period of time (no more than two school days), for the
student teacher to assume responsibility for his/her cooperating
teacher(s) on the condition that the school principal, the University
supervisor, the cooperating teacher(s) and the student teacher discuss
and agree to the arrangement. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD A STUDENT
TEACHER BE USED AS A SUBSTITUTE IN A CLASS OTHER THAN THAT TO WHICH
S/HE HAS BEEN ASSIGNED. In all situations where student teachers
are being used as substitutes, the district will assume liability.
Student teachers
are teachers in training and must not be used as substitute teachers
on a regular basis. In addition, they are receiving University credit
for their work and are not to receive pay as substitute teachers.
All students
who wish to receive University credit for student teaching must
register for the course and complete the experience under the supervision
of a cooperating teacher in the classroom and a University supervisor.
Students who opt to accept positions as long-term substitutes cannot
receive University credit for this experience.
