Step 3 - Withdrawal from current Student Teaching/Practicum placement
If the recommendation is to terminate the student teaching/practicum placement, the university program coordinator, university consultant, and the university Coordinator of Field Placements will meet to finalize the recommendation and determine the candidate's next steps. The Coordinator of Field Placements will notify all persons involved in the original placement in writing and send a letter of appreciation to the appropriate school division personnel.
If the recommendation is to withdraw the student teacher/practicum student from the teacher education program, the university program coordinator will notify the candidate and other appropriate personnel in writing. This notification will provide information on available supporting campus resources and the procedures for appeal.
Occasionally there are placement situations that require immediate action because the safety of one or more participants is in question or because the interests of one or more participants are in jeopardy. In this instance, any of the involved parties may request that the student teacher/practicum student not participate in classroom activities until the steps listed above have been accomplished. The outlined procedures should then be scheduled as expeditiously as possible so that there will be minimal disruption of the student teaching experience.
