Office of Clinical Practice
The Office of Clinical Practice collaborates with P-12 school partners, University educators and other stakeholders to design and implement clinically rich field experiences that prepare high-quality teachers and school professionals.
Our work is guided by these core principles:
- The learning and well-being of every P-12 student is central to our work.
- School and University partners actively collaborate and engage in shared decision-making.
- Substantive clinical field experiences are sustained, intentional, and supportive of diverse populations across a variety of contexts.
- Candidates require active and sustained support from site-specific leaders and engaged mentors working in dialogue and collaboration with University supervisors and faculty.
- High-quality clinical educators, both school and University, must be consistently and ambitiously supported in their work alongside candidates.
