Re: student teacher letter
Posted by WEK on 6/21/08
I got my cert online from Drexel U in Phila and I had to provide
a short list of schools where I would like to student teach. The
university made the arrangements. If you have a "behind the
times" admin, they may not want to take a non-traditional
student.
Start at your first choice and call the admin and ask whom to
speak to. Contact that person and ask if they would be willing
to place you if the school requested. Most districts have
student teachers all the time (at least in my area) and I
believe I may have been the first online in my district. Keep
going down your list until someone agrees. Be ready to sell your
online experience and why it will be beneficial: you are an
independent learner, able to research well and find answers,
able to handle multiple deadlines, organized, persistant, and
very self motivated to be able to learn in the online
atmosphere. Also be ready to explain the classes you have taken
and how they will help. If this is your second career (it was
for me), you can sell your maturity and real world experience.
It may be slightly more difficult because its a "change" for the
student to contact the school, but it will work out!
