School of Education Clinical Practice and Partnerships Office

The School of Education Clinical Practice and Partnerships Office collaborates with academic faculty, public schools, and community partners to locate authentic rich, engaging and diverse experiences. More than 1200 placements are made in nearly 190 schools and other agencies each academic year.  Many of these placements occur in rural, urban, and high-need areas where we have established partnerships.

We continue efforts to increase these partnerships and diverse placements, weaving a Transformative School Fabric, increasing the strands of knowledge, practice, reflection, authentic learning, collaboration, leadership, and social justice!

Clinical experiences are an integral part of our teacher education programs.  It is a time for candidates to participate in the breadth and depth of hands-on school and community-based experiences.
