Student Teaching announcement.txt

Dear Teacher Assistant or Student Teacher,                                                           
 
As you are aware, through communications from President Mantella, GVSU is actively coordinating with local public health departments and federal agencies as it relates to Covid-19 and the health and well-being of GV students.  The university has decided to restrict students from attending face-to-face classes and encourages students to return to their permanent residence.  Given this, we are also asking that you do not attend your teacher assisting or student teaching placement at this time.  
 
Please know that we are in communication with the Michigan Department of Education, and this interruption to your field experience will NOT impact your grade in your teacher assisting or student teaching field practicum course.  Nor will you be required to extend your experience beyond the regular end of the academic semester, as your field experience to date meets the minimum requirement of days in the classroom for either teacher assisting or student teaching.
 
We will be contacting your UFC and Cooperating Teacher, however we highly encourage you to contact your Cooperating Teacher as soon as possible so that you can discuss and share any lesson plans, resources, or planned activities that you were responsible for implementing this week.
 
Check your GVSU email frequently for updates.
 
Should you have any questions, please contact either of us.
 
 
Sincerely,
 
Amy Schelling, Ed.D.
Director of Teacher Education
