Apprenticeships and Clinical Experiences for Grade Band Education

Education clinical placements are essential experiences in teacher preparation, while internships are an excellent opportunity to jump-start your career!

They provide opportunities to work with Birth-Grade 12 students and learn from teachers across multiple disciplines. All clinical experiences are assigned and confirmed through CEHHS Field Placement. 

Exploratory and Flex Hours

Each EXPLORATORY experience requires 10-hours in an educational context. Early in the program, students complete three exploratory courses.

 FLEX hours allow for various clinical experiences across a student's preparation program. Not all programs will have flex hours. 

Apprenticeships

Each APPRENTICESHIP requires two 6-week experiences in two grade levels. Students complete one 6-week experience and then flip with another student to gain another 6-week experience. Each week, students commit to two days a week in the classroom, ideally consecutively, totaling 24 days across the semester.

Please note that both Apprenticeships are required and should be completed in order. 

Students must complete an Apprenticeship I or Apprenticeship II application by the required application due date below. Late applications will not be accepted. 

  • Fall Application Deadline: April 1st 
  • Winter Application Deadline: October 1st
