Student Teaching Placements

馃摟 Placement Notification
Student teaching placements will be communicated via your 九游娱乐官网 email before the start of the student teaching semester.
We kindly ask that you do not contact the office regarding placement status or timelines, as this information will be shared once finalized.
馃搶 Placement Guidelines
All placements are arranged within a 50-mile radius of the Kent campus.
Please do not seek or arrange your own placement. All placements must be approved through official university channels.
Note: Students in the Deaf Education program will be placed in specialized schools for the deaf. These placements are typically a minimum of two hours away from campus due to the nature of the program.
