Student Teacher Process for Somers Public Schools
This process is to be used for requests for student observations and interns.
- All requests for potential student teachers, interns and student observers are to be
sent to the Director of Curriculum
- The Director will review the request for placement and match him/her with a TEAM
trained teacher in the appropriate discipline and/or grade level.
- The building administrator is notified of the student teacher placement.
- The teacher meets with the student to make sure it is a good match.
- All student teachers and interns are required to have a criminal background check,
which includes fingerprinting. This is done once the student has been placed and
before they begin student teaching. (Student observers are not required to have a
criminal background check if they will not have unsupervised contact with
students.)
Somers has accepted student teachers, interns and student observers from the following
colleges and universities:
- Central Connecticut
- Eastern Connecticut
- University of Connecticut
- University of Hartford
- University of St. Joseph
- Springfield College
