Students at an approved college or university may take their practice teaching in the district's schools upon approval by the Superintendent of Schools and the prospective cooperating teacher.
Student teachers will not be asked to cover someone else's class in the event of a teacher's absence. The cooperating teacher will not be asked to cover an absented teacher's class while his or her student teacher is holding class.
In the event of a cooperating teacher's absence, upon the approval of said cooperating teacher and the respective student teacher, the student teacher may temporarily assume the teaching responsibilities for his or her cooperating teacher under the general supervision of the Building Principal.
The Superintendent shall ensure that the district educational program does not suffer as the result of district participation in the training of practice teachers.
The agreement between the school and the college or university must demonstrate the active role that such institution will take. While the district is willing to cooperate in such programs, it cannot assume principal responsibility for the teacher training.
