Student Teaching Application

Applicants are allowed to suggest/request two possible placements, realizing that these requests may or may not be fulfilled. In order to ensure a diverse clinical experience, applicants should not request to be placed in a school where a previous practicum was completed. Students should not request, nor will they be placed, in a district or school where relatives attend or work. Exceptions to this policy may be made if a district offers a student teacher a job as the teacher of record during their student teaching semester. Approval is required by the Dean of Education for all exceptions.

I authorize the Drury University Registrar to prepare copies of my undergraduate and graduate transcripts to be included in my School of Education and Child Development file. These transcripts will be used in determining my eligibility for student teaching and academic information may be shared with school district personnel, including my cooperating teacher and university supervisor. I also understand that the School of Education and Child Development is required to report annual data to the U.S. Department of Education and Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education in accordance with Title II regulations. Information reported may include, and not be limited to, academic and demographic information (i.e. Social Security Number, standardized test results, gender and ethnicity).
