student teaching and field placement

Field Experience/Student Teaching 

Field Experience

If you are in an education program leading to certification, many of your courses will have a field experience component. Each field experience will be distinct and provide you with diverse opportunities to apply what you have learned in class in varied educational settings. Please see your course syllabi each term to determine the field experience requirements for the course. Your instructor will be able to provide you with more information on the specific competencies that you will focus on and related assignments.

Please contact Dr. Louise Whitelaw, Field Experience Coordinator at (610) 358-4518 or via email at whitelal@neumann.edu with questions related to field experience, finding a placement, or security clearances.

Student Teaching

Student teaching will occur in one or two types of settings depending on the certification(s) you are seeking. Student teaching placements can range from traditional elementary school settings, secondary education schools settings, and a wide range of special education settings.
