UNC Field Experiences

This page is created in an attempt to coordinate field placement request from various UNC programs to school districts, especially District 6 that specifically requested such coordination.

For all field placements other than final student teaching in teacher education programs, please use Field Placement Request form. It can be filled out on-screen, then printed and faxed. If you have e-mail-to-fax service like greenfax.com, use the e-mail button. Feel free to just print out and fill out by hand. We agreed that whatever connections we may have with specific teachers, all requests must come through building principals. Special Education programs are an exception; they will send requests to District 6 Special Education coordinator Vicky Hubbard. District 6 has promised us a 5-days decision turn-around time, in exchange for consistency and transparency of requests, and for staying away one week before and a week after classes begin. Please send your comments and suggestions on how to improve the form.

The form refers to the Field Experiences Guide, which allows principals and other people to see quickly what the experiences involve. Please send information to us so we can update it for school principals.

Disclaimer: The School of Teacher Education has agreed to coordinate the process of placement requests streamlining as a courtesy to the campus community. Every program can opt in or out of this procedure. We believe it is helpful in communication with districts, and their request for consistency is reasonable and should be honored. If anyone has different ideas on how to handle it, please let us know.
