6.5 Retention in Student Teaching

Retention in student teaching is dependent upon satisfactory evaluations from the Program Coordinator and the UNW supervisor throughout the student teaching placement.

Should academic or professional concerns regarding the student teacher’s performance arise, an intervention meeting with the Admission and Retention Committee will be scheduled by the Program Coordinator. Withdrawal from a student teaching placement for any reason results in termination of all future student teaching placements and will require the candidate to reapply to the student teaching program.

Additional student teaching may be required as recommended by the supervisor and supported by the final evaluation submitted by the cooperating teacher or the UNW supervisor.

Tuition refund and transcript notation policies defined in the University Catalog for all Northwestern courses apply to withdrawal from student teaching.
