Applying for Student Teaching
Undergraduate students who seek New York State initial certification must successfully meet the requirement for student teaching. The Professional Development Network Coordinator in the Office of Student Support Services (Carman Hall, Room B-33) is responsible for school site placements and providing information and support for prospective student teachers. Prospective student teachers are urged to plan their course of study so that they can devote a semester exclusively to their student teaching. Student teachers and interns should have fulfilled their other education course requirements, including content area methods courses, before applying for student teaching. Student teachers must be prepared to student teach every day for the duration of one college semester. Further requirements for student teachers are detailed in the respective program's course of study. Application for student teaching must be filed the semester prior to student teaching and requires permission of the program coordinator. Application due dates are April 1 for the fall semester and November 1 for the spring semester. Information about student teaching and internship is posted on the Division of Education's website at http://www.lehman.edu/academics/education/.
