Bilingual/Bicultural Education

Fieldwork Requirements

Initial certification students (Dual Stream A and B, and Peace Corps Fellows) must complete a 50-hour field experience prior to enrolling in either of the two student teaching experiences (C&T 4123 and ITSF 4720) required.  Students who are teaching could do most of the required fieldwork at their place of work.  These 50 hours will be integrated with the following coursework.

You are responsible for getting your logs signed by a teacher or supervisor in your school, as well as the instructor of your course of study.  Logs must be filed in the Office of the Program in Bilingual/Bicultural Education each semester.

Some students may be scheduled to take one of the above courses concurrently with their student teaching, therefore please do not do the minimum number of hours unless you are sure you will complete at least 50 hours prior to student teaching.

Middle Childhood Extension

Students pursuing middle childhood extension certification must have completed and logged a total of 50 hours of fieldwork in grades 7 and 8 throughout the course of their academic stay with us.  Please note: These fieldwork hours are in addition to the 50 hours completed for the bilingual extension certification.  Please remember that you must also complete a course in Middle Childhood Education.
