Clinical Practice

 Refer to the Teacher Education Program Handbook for a list of the required field experience hours designated for your program of study that must be completed prior to clinical practice.

The Office of Quality Assurance and Accreditation coordinates the placement of university students in education programs at designated sites in our clinical experience and clinical practice network. Morehead State University's clinical experiences represent the core of our education preparation program and serve as a vital part of all professional education courses. Classes requiring clinical experiences provide a wide range of opportunities for teacher candidates. Each semester the Office of Quality Assurance and Accreditation makes approximately 14,000 hours of clinical experience placements, which span from foundations to advanced methods courses. Clinical experiences are designed to provide teacher candidates with opportunities to view the entire scope of teaching in a classroom setting and to develop the skills and self-confidence necessary to be effective teachers. These carefully planned clinical experiences are woven into every aspect of the Teacher Education Program curriculum. Teacher Candidates must fulfill state and university certification requirements and clinical experience requirements prior to clinical practice. These classes are listed in the TEP Handbook.

All teacher education candidates planning to student teach after the fall of 2013 are advised that they must meet the revised clinical experience requirements outlined in the EPSB New Student Teaching Regulations document. If candidates are unclear about clinical experience requirements, candidates should consult with their advisor and/or the designated coordinator for their teacher education program.
