The Field Experience Program at the University of North Texas College of Education provides student teaching interns with extensive opportunities to move beyond being students of organized knowledge to become classroom teachers who put their acquired knowledge into practice in the classroom.

Our partners in this process of providing guided and gradual induction into classroom teaching are the teachers and administrators in public school systems. The College of Education works collaboratively with our partner schools to provide field-based programs for both undergraduate and post-baccalaureate students seeking initial certification in elementary and secondary levels.

This website provides general information about the Field Experience Program operation and application procedures for Teacher Education students seeking initial certification through the UNT College of Education.

All current and intending students are requested to consult the website regularly as the information is updated as the need arises. It also provided links to other websites that provide information for completing certification requirements.

If you are in the Secondary program, there are two Videos that must be watched before filling out an application: (Both require speakers or head phones connected to your computer and your browser must have Flash plugins which can be obtained at www.adobe.com/downloads) There is some information on the videos that has changed.  There will be an upcoming note on this page about where and how to do the applications.  Other information is correct.
