Student Teacher Placement -

(observation/practicum/student teaching/internship)
South Kitsap School District is dedicated to contributing excellence to future educators. Student teaching is considered to be the single most important experience in a teacher preparation program. By working together, we hope to nurture the professional growth of teacher candidates, support the continued professional development of cooperating teachers, and provide for quality learning experiences for the students in our school.

All practicum, student teacher, and/or intern applicants must be enrolled in a State Board of Education approved college/university education program, with field supervisors provided by the university. The college/university must also have a current contract on file with the South Kitsap School District prior to submitting an application.

APPLICATION PROCESS/DEADLINE DATES:

All arrangements to accept student teachers are made through Human Resources in conjunction with the college and university placement offices. This includes all observation, practicum, intern, and student teaching requests. In order to meet the needs of the many universities/colleges', a student teacher placement request must be sent to the Human Resources Department by the following dates:

• By May 5th, 2023 for Fall 2023
• By November 3rd, 2023 for Winter 2023-2024
• By February 2nd, 2024 for Spring 2024

The South Kitsap School District places student teachers on a semester by semester basis. Often times, student teachers request a specific placement location and mentor teacher. South Kitsap School District will make every effort to accommodate such requests. There are, however, times that we may not be able to accept the specific placement request due to events in our district that are not conducive to a good student teaching experience.

The State of Washington requires that everyone who has contact with students in the school setting be fingerprinted prior to starting their assignments.

Student teachers will not be allowed into the classroom without proof of current fingerprints. Requests for placement will not be sent until fingerprinting can be confirmed.
