If the work is not completed by the deadline decided upon, the candidate’s placement will be delayed. Once work has been completed and the instructor has issued a grade, the candidate must ask the instructor to inform the OFE that he or she has earned a grade of B or better. This information must be submitted to the OFE before OFE will continue with the processing of the application to schools for Student Teaching. The MAT Student Teaching placement will be delayed until the quarter after necessary courses have been retaken and grades of B or better have been earned. A candidate completing all coursework except Student Teaching by the spring quarter would student teach in the fall as this experience is not available during the summer quarter.
