Student Teaching/Internship Placement Restrictions

 

Educator licensure candidates cannot be placed for initial licensure student teaching/internship placements in situations where the integrity of the experience or the evaluation of the candidate's performance could be compromised. These situations include the following:

 

  • The high school the candidate attended as a student
  • A school where immediate family is employed
  • A school district or agency where immediate family is employed in a building or district-level administrative position or holds elected office with authority over the candidate's cooperating teacher
  • School board membership or immediate family member with position on school board.

 

"Immediate Family," for the purposes of this policy, includes one's spouse or domestic partner, parents, siblings, and children.
