The mission of Southeastern’s Office of Teacher Clinical Practice and Residency (OCP&R) is to provide authentic clinical experiences for aspiring teachers to observe and interact with educational stakeholders, including educators, students, site administration, and support personnel in diverse school and community settings. Aspiring teachers have an opportunity to practice theory in realistic settings and reflect on the impact on student learning through scaffolded tiered experiences as outlined in the following document.
The aspiring teacher candidate will complete and retain the following forms to ensure accurate entry into the data collection platform via Moodle. Please refer to each course instructor regarding what form should be completed. The candidate will collaborate with the site supervisor/administration/cooperating mentor teacher to ensure the accuracy of the requested information. Both forms require a signature. A wet (ink) signature is required for all in-person experiences. Electronic signatures will be accepted for virtual experiences only. This form will be uploaded in the final step of the Clinical Practice data submission process.
