Partnerships with specific school districts and schools have been established to host UT Arlington Residents. We work closely with
specific schools to build strong mentoring relationships between teachers and students, and therefore place all students in partner
school settings. Students are not able to select the district or school for their placement.

FIELD APPLICATION DEADLINE: Students must apply for Student Teaching with the Office of Professional Development. Fall applications
are accepted between January 2 - March 1 and spring applications are accepted between September 1 - October 1.

CERTIFICATION:  Candidates must pass all appropriate state exams and apply for appropriate state certifications with the State Board
 for Educator Certification / Texas Education Agency within six months of the completion of their student teaching, internship, or practicum program. If a

 and/or state exams will be required for recommendation for certification. Additional coursework will be determined by the appropriate
 Program Director in consultation with the faculty.
