Fieldwork Overview 

Overview of Fieldwork

All candidates working towards a PK-3 ECE Specialist Instruction Credential  in the state of California must complete 600 hours of fieldwork over two semesters while enrolled in a credential program. One placement will be in TK-K and the other will be in grades 1-3.  Student teachers are required to spend five instructional hours per day, four days per week in their placement. Candidates begin by observing the classes taught by the cooperating teacher then gradually move into team-teaching during the instructional hours. 

The placement coordinator arranges each of the traditional student teaching placements in accordance with state and university requirements. Thus, candidates are not permitted to arrange their own placements. The placement coordinator makes every effort to locate candidates’ field placements close to their residential addresses and to accommodate documented considerations. Living in an urban region, however, traditional student teachers need to be prepared to commute up to 60 minutes to their field sites.

EQUIVALENCY OPTIONS

You will need to meet with the program coordinator to see if you qualify to waive 200 hours of the 600 hours of student teaching. The remaining 400 student teaching hours will need to be completed during the program.  Please make an appointment as soon as possible to see if you qualify.

You will need to meet with the program coordinator to see if you qualify to waive 200 hours of the 600 hours of student teaching. The remaining 400 student teaching hours will need to be completed during the program.  Please make an appointment as soon as possible to see if you qualify for the 200 hours. 

Fieldwork Calendar

During fall semester, placements begin as close to the start of the school year as possible and continue until the last day of finals week in December. During the spring semester, placements begin on the first day of the spring semester and continue until the last day of finals week in May. Candidates should stay in their placements during the CSUEB spring break. 

Candidates must also notify school site personnel and supervisor in advance of any absence from their field assignment. They must provide all instructional plans and materials to the school as required for the day.

Observations

Summative Evaluation and Conference

At the end of each semester, all three parties (candidate; supervisor; and cooperating teacher or site administrator) meet to discuss the growth attained by the candidate over the course of the placement. Prior to the conference, the university supervisor and either the cooperating teacher or site administrator each complete a Experience Evaluation Google form that validates the candidate’s performance in the field.
