Candidate Support And Remediation - Each candidate shall have the benefit of a case conference composed of the ECE Education faculty and any instructors who may contribute information to the record. The instructor along with the appropriate program faculty will set goals with the candidate and determine steps to be taken to achieve those goals. The candidate will repeat any required coursework during the quarter when Student Teaching would have taken place. Appeals - Candidates who are denied admission to ECE590 Student Teaching, may petition the NCE Academic Policies Committee to appeal the decision. The appeal must be submitted within the timeline explained in the National Louis University Student Handbook. 2. Effect On Student Teaching Placement - If a candidate receives an “I” grade in any class leading to licensure, an in-progress report will be completed by the instructor and sent to the Registrar, the ECE Education Program Chair, and the Director of Teacher Preparation. The instructor will also inform the candidate and the Office of Field Experiences (OFE) as to what the candidate needs to do in order to change the grade to a B or better and establish the deadline for the candidate to complete the process. 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. (Note: All Student Teaching placements are dependent on availability.) 3. Mini-interviews with school personnel responsible for the ECE 590 Student Teaching placement may be required before final placements are assigned. 4. Observation hours from ECE 570 and SPE 500 will be uploaded into SONIA. Course instructors will provide the directions for uploading these hours. 5. Fingerprint Criminal Background Check . The school where the Student Teaching placement is made may require an additional Criminal Background Check be completed by a local police department. 6. Tuberculosis Test . A copy of this test should already have been submitted to the Office of Field Experiences. 7. A Certificate of Completion with the Department of Children and Family Services regarding the Mandated Reporter Training should already have been submitted.
