Step 3 - Withdrawal from current Student Teaching placement
If the recommendation is to terminate the student teaching 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 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.

The outlined procedures should then be scheduled as expeditiously as possible so that there will be minimal disruption of the student teaching experience.
