During your time in the Educator Preparation Program, you will be required to take part in extensive Field Experiences hours in North Carolina PreK - 12 schools. High quality school experiences are essential to an effective Educator Preparation Program (EPP). Through these experiences, our students will gain valuable knowledge and skills by observing and working with Teachers, Students, Administrators and Parents.
· Field Experience – An application link will be received via email from the Educator Engagement and Student Success Office to apply each semester. Education Majors will need to make sure information is up to date in the Brave Educator Dashboard.
· Due to completing these experiences in the PreK -12 educational setting, various background check documents may be needed. It is important to adhere to the required deadlines to ensure a timely placement.
· The Office of Educator Engagement and Student Success will arrange all field experiences and internship locations.
Current School Employees: Even if you are employed within the school setting, you are still asked to submit a field experience placement request.
