will be given instructions for registration. You do not
register for the professional semester during the normal fall
registration process. The number of sections of each
professional semester course offered is determined by the number

class.

STUDENT TEACHING
PLACEMENT: SPRING 2010
When you apply for the professional semester you also need to
fill out a placement packet for the student teacher placement
coordinator. This packet may be obtained from the ED & EPY
office in WS 249. Return the packet to Dr. Virginia King as
quickly as possible. Placement is competitive because there are
several colleges and universities that place students in this
region. The student teaching placement coordinator will contact
the schools to make a placement. As tempting as it may be to
try to speed up the process, please do not try to contact
schools on your own. Students do not arrange their own
placement.
