Student teacher placements go through Michele McCabe - mmccabe@aesd.edu, Patty Martinez is the contact for clearance paperwork - lmartinez@aesd.edu. Please reach out to Michele and Patty to receive the paperwork needed to select this site.
People needing observation hours communicate directly with school sites to find someone willing to host them. Once they have that, they can start their paperwork. They can actually request the paperwork first but it won’t be accepted until a site has signed off. Marcy and I do not do anything with this process.
For student teachers, Marcy has a spreadsheet to keep track of requests from all universities. Once we have placements, the student teachers can begin their paperwork.
