Technology Education Student Teaching
Technology Education candidates participate in two, full-time, seven-week placements. Their first placement is in a middle school classroom. The second student teaching placement is typically at the same location in which the candidate completed their TED 316 high school field experience.
Registration and Tk20 Application
The semester prior to student teaching, candidates must register for student teaching through myOswego the same way you register for all classes. You must also submit a student teaching application through Tk20, including a cover letter and resume. The student teaching application is completed at the same time as your Field Experience III application.

Before submitting your resume and cover letter in TK20 we suggest proof reading your applications materials thoroughly. These documents provide a first impression of your professionalism and potential. Some applicants have been rejected due to grammar and spelling errors in the past. It is also strongly encouraged that you visit Career Services in 145 Marano Campus Center to review both your cover letter and resume.
Please be mindful of all your social media accounts. Be certain that if a prospective cooperating teacher is searching you, they only find evidence of your professionalism.
