All teacher candidates must comply with the background check requirements of all field experience sites (schools and organizations). If a student does not pass a background check, the program will be notified only of the status. The student will be directed to the organization's contact to get detailed information. Background checks will be conducted at different levels based on the organization's procedures and the level of interaction with minors. The inability to complete field experience requirements due to a background check may prevent students from completing the course and continuing in the program. 学生 who have any concerns about this requirement should contact the 教师教育主任 early in the program to discuss options.
校本 students should expect background checks to take place throughout the program and in professional practice, 包括:
- 与课程相关的实地工作
- 在临床教学之前
- 在申请德州教学认证时
- 在成为教育工作者之前
