NOTICE: Effective January 1, 2010 a candidate can only repeat an Illinois state exam 5 times.
All official email will go to your UIC email account. To forward your UIC email to the email address of your choosing, please go to http://www.uic.edu/depts/accc/index.html/EMAIL.html and click on "Email - Change netid@uic.edu email forwarding address for instructions.
Requirements: Teacher Candidates must complete a minimum of 100 hours of field work in area schools. Please consult with your academic advisor for additional fieldwork specific to your area of study. The 100 hours are included in the various courses required for the professional preparation program. Candidates do not have to do fieldwork outside of their course requirements.
A field experience log must be completed and submitted electronically for every field experience. The log is used by the Council to track your progress in completing the 100 hour requirement. Effective Fall 2009, Field experience logs will be completed, verified by both cooperating teacher and field instructor, and submitted online. ALL cooperating teachers must complete the Cooperating Teacher Information Form in order to verify field logs. Field Instructors and Cooperating Teachers will receive email notification on how to verify/approve the logs. Field experience logs must be completed after every field experience.
If you are unsure of the total number of field experience hours you have accrued to date, please come to the CTE office (EPASW 3015) and request a Field Experience Report. This report will list all of your experiences for which logs have been submitted to the CTE.
Placement For Field Experiences: As part of UIC commitment to an Urban experience, candidates are placed primarily in Chicago Public Schools and surrounding adjacent metropolitan areas. To help teacher candidates do their own placements when required, please refer to the Self Placement Procedures document. Also available is a Field Experience Request form that can be given to a school or agency if needed as verification that the teacher candidate needs the experience for a UIC course. The Field Experience Request form does NOT get turned into the CTE. You can check the Field Experience Hours chart to determine how many field hours are typical for a given course.
