Field Placement & Student Teaching

Learn by doing.

The College of Education and Human Development prepares future teachers and educators by giving them field experience and student teaching opportunities to prepare them for their careers ahead.

Field Experience

Field Experience is considered a critical link between the theory of teaching and the practice of teaching. Through short-term placements in classrooms and educational settings, students have the opportunity to apply and demonstrate skills gained from academic course work. All teacher education programs require field experience.

Student Teaching

Student Teaching is the culmination of teacher preparation. Through a semester-long placement, teacher candidates have the opportunity to apply and demonstrate skills gained from academic and teaching methodology course work. The College of Education & Human Development requires student teaching for graduation.

Cooperating Teachers and UND Supervisors

Our supervisors and cooperating teachers are among the best in the field, bringing unparalleled expertise and dedication to our program. Our student teachers are prepared to enter the field under their guidance. With their expertise and feedback, the next generation of teachers will be equipped with the necessary experience to enter the field.
