Field Experience Field Experience (field work) is time spent in an educational setting, usually a public school, in addition to regular class hours. Field Experiences allow students to: –Develop teaching skills in the context of a school setting –Develop an understanding of the needs of diverse learners

Field Experience: What does it require? Each student is required to complete a minimum number of hours of observation or participation per class, per semester For example: –Reading courses: 20 hours –Curriculum and Instruction courses: –Other courses: refer to the course description for details Criminal background checks required

Restricted Courses Must have all prerequisites completed AND be admitted to the teacher certification program Restricted courses require advisor clearance and be obtained online by following the instructions found at neInstructionstoRestrictedCourses.pdf

Advising Tips: Field Experiences and Restricted Courses Plan carefully to make sure all prerequisites are met Check course descriptions in the current catalog to determine course prerequisites Build in travel time before and after field- based courses

Criminal History Background process Every student is required to fill out a criminal background check at the time of course registration. Please visit to get the form and for more information about criminal background checks. If you have ever been arrested, it is very likely that the arrest(s) will appear when your background check is run. To learn more about how arrest(s) on your record can impact your ability to become a certified teacher, please visit COEHD courses that involve field experience require that a criminal history check be conducted before students are allowed to participate in or obtain class credit for field-based assignments.
