The Director informs the departmental representative of each academic area, of the students approved for the program.Academic advisors in each discipline inform the Director of Teacher Education and Student Services of students in their departments who are maintaining the Teacher Education Program's retention standards. S/he will notify the students who are not meeting the retention requirements that they have one semester to remove their deficiencies. Students who do not remove their deficiencies and meet the retention standards during the semester of probation are subject to be dropped from the Teacher Education Program. The College of Education provides pre-service field experiences in order to afford opportunities for students to correlate theoretical information with real life situations through observations, one to one and small group participation, and student teaching. The Office of Student Services and Teacher Education accept placement requests for these field based activities from teacher education faculty and students for the purpose of making appropriate placements. Observation placements are forwarded to the schools. The student teaching placement list for each semester is submitted to the Office of Pre Service Education of the Metropolitan Nashville Public School System and other school systems where students are placed. |
