Teacher Education

We are proud of the strong partnerships we have made with district officials, principals and teachers. Our thanks go to all the school administrators, classroom teachers and University supervisors who have mentored and trained our candidates.

If a student has special needs, such as a lack of personal transportation, we do our best to take these into consideration when coordinating placements.

Field Placement Code of Conduct

Students are ambassadors for Clemson University and are guests in the schools. Remember, you have only one chance to make a good first impression.

• Clemson University students will sign in at the main office upon arrival.
• Clemson University students must follow the rules and conduct required of the faculty of the participating school.
• Clemson University students will abide by the dress code and conduct of the participating school. In addition, the following must be observed:
• Professional dress will be required.
• For example, in most schools, the following would be inappropriate: Tank tops, jeans, short skirts, shorts, T-shirts, bare midriffs, flip-flops. No obvious body piercing, other than ear lobes.
• EXCEPTION: PE classes — students would dress appropriately to participate.
• Absolutely no smoking or use of any type tobacco is allowed on school grounds or at school events.
• Clemson University students will arrive at school at least 10 minutes before their assigned time.
• If a Clemson University student must be late or absent, that student must call the school and inform the secretary 24 hours in advance, or as soon as possible in an emergency.
• Failure to follow the above rules could jeopardize your participation in any field placement, practicum
