Field Experience for Adolescence Education Students at SUNY Plattsburgh

Field Experience

The Office of Student Teaching and Field Experience provides our teacher candidates with the opportunity to observe and teach in assigned classrooms at various levels throughout their sophomore and junior years.

Our teacher candidates complete their practical preparation in the last semester of their senior year by enrolling in a full semester of student teaching.

With the support of advisors and working teachers in the field, teacher candidates assume full responsibility for classroom instruction, putting what they've learned into practice.
