Students will be placed for student teaching only after each of the following has occurred:
1.
A complete and accurate application for student teaching, including two
copies of the personal data sheet, has been submitted by the deadline.
2. Proof of a valid, current negative Mantoux test or its equivalent has been submitted.
3.
Two letters of recommendation from faculty members at Rutgers-Camden,
outside the Teacher Preparation Program (TPP), have been
submitted. Postbaccalaureate students may submit recommendations
from faculty members of the Teacher Preparation Program or from faculty
of a previous institution.
4. The student has
maintained a minimum 2.8 GPA overall and in the degree major (or major
academic concentration). Additionally, all courses required for
certification (as noted on the TPP advisement sheet) must have been
passed with a grade of C or higher.
5. The
Teacher Preparation Program office has received, from the student's
major adviser, the form entitled "Major Department GPA Verification
Form" (found in the student teaching application packet). The
adviser, not the student, is to return this form directly to the TPP
office. The student is urged to check with the adviser to verify
that he or she has indeed returned this form to the teacher preparation
office.
6. The teacher preparation office has
not received from the Dean of Student Affairs office evidence that the
student has a documented history of infractions vis-à-vis the Student
Code of Conduct.
7. The student has met
personally with the director, associate director, or assistant director
to review his or her file. (Students will receive a letter
approximately six to seven months before the student teaching term
requesting an appointment.)
