Placements are made by the University and are sensitive to the geographic considerations of the student.
Candidates are placed in schools in each of the 4 quarters, beginning with 10 hours of observation in the first quarter, followed by 10 days for the second quarter, and half-time field experiences for quarter 3, and full-time novice teaching for quarter 4.
