As a result, National Louis University may not be able to identify a school placement for student teacher applicants who do not carry health insurance. If National Louis University students are in need of additional information regarding health insurance, information can be accessed here: Student Health Insurance | National Louis University | Chicago,

The ECE Education M.A.T. Program requires ECE clock hours of observation and other experiences be completed prior to Student Teaching. These classroom observations are designed to provide candidates with opportunities to develop and refine teaching skills. Note : See the Course of Study chart above for courses requiring field experience hours. Some schools will require a letter requesting permission to observe. This letter will be shared in Practicum I. When observing at various schools, candidates should remember they are guests in the school. Accordingly, candidates should: • Observe dress codes and bring identification. (Most schools require a driver’s license or state I.D.) • Bring copies of the criminal background check and TB test results or have them available electronically • Arrive at the scheduled time and check in at the front office Most NLU faculty require additional assignments related to these field experiences. Focusing observations on “best practice” and taking notes enable the candidate to connect the field experiences to the topics of study within the course.
