Stage 3 Observations

1. Use the field calendar to sign up for a day and time to be observed. It's a good idea to sign up for more than one day and time in case of scheduling conflicts.

2. Email a copy of your lesson plan to scott.reilly@scranton.edu at least 24 hours before your scheduled observation or pre-observation meeting. Don't forget to copy your professor on the email. Also, please have a hard copy of your lesson plan available in the classroom.

3. After your lesson is complete, your observer will meet with you about it. You will receive a copy of the observation report on TaskStream.

Classroom Hours Log

You must complete a Classroom Hours Log after each visit to your placement. It keeps track of your total hours so that your professor can check your progress at any time. Please keep your hours updated!

Sign Off Form

To sign off on your field hours, visit the TaskStream page.

The student teaching experience is the culmination of an pre-service teacher's field work in local schools. It lasts a full semester, where the pre-service teacher is in the classroom for 12 weeks. It is important for pre-service teachers to familiarize themselves with the Student Teaching Handbook.
