College of Saint Mary student teachers teach full days
for 16-20 weeks, depending on area of endorsement. This is in
compliance with Rule 20 of Nebraska law, which requires a minimum of
10 weeks for two fields or 14 weeks for one. Depending on the
number of endorsements they are seeking, student teachers complete
one or two experiences. They may change schools, grade levels, and
content areas of special assignments at the end of 8 or 10 weeks,
depending on the district in which you are placed. All student
teachers teach in fields or subjects for which they will be
endorsed. Students pursuing special education endorsements complete
one experience in a special education setting. Students securing
early childhood education endorsements are placed in a kindergarten
and/or accredited early childhood setting in addition to an
elementary setting. Students seeking secondary education
endorsements, student teach in a high school and/or a middle/junior
high school in their respective fields or subjects. Most Fast Track
students are placed in a single school for 16 weeks.
Placements are made
in accredited public and parochial schools throughout the Omaha
metropolitan area and eastern Iowa. |
