Student Teaching/Internship/Practicum Requirements and Policies

In addition to the successful completion of a degree in an educator preparation program, supervised field experience or clinical practice (e.g., student teaching, an internship, or a practicum) is required for all graduate students applying for certification in New York State as a teacher, counselor, or school building/school district leader. Student teaching, internships, or practicums cannot be waived based on prior experience or other factors. Students must follow the attendance policy of each program. Unexcused absences from supervised field experience may be grounds for removal from the placement. Students may repeat student teaching, internship, or practicum only once. For specific program requirements, see the program adviser.
