Fieldwork and Student Teaching

Build Your Skills in Real Classrooms

Fieldwork and student teaching give you the opportunity to apply what you learn, strengthen your instructional skills, and build relationships with students, mentor teachers, and school leaders.

Graduate students complete fieldwork as part of their coursework before participating in a full-time student-teaching placement. Through 91ÊÓÆµâ€™s partnerships with schools throughout New York City and Westchester County, you’ll gain practical experience in diverse learning environments and develop the confidence to lead your own classroom.

The 91ÊÓÆµ School of Education faculty, administration, and staff are here to support you through all aspects of your clinical experiences. We are dedicated to preparing you to become a reflective professional who promotes justice, creates caring classrooms and communities, and enables all students to learn. Fieldwork and student teaching/practicum experiences will allow you to put what you learn in class into practice.

More than a name, our partnership with NYCDOE affiliate, 91ÊÓÆµ High School, has been established for many, many years. It all began with Dr. Art Maloney, an Emeritus School of Education faculty member and Chair, who served as a liaison and initiated, planned, and implemented many events, programs, guest speakers, workshops, and research projects with 91ÊÓÆµ High School. Upon his retirement, Professor Sharon Medow continued to build a new phase in developing the partnership further and work together on projects, events, and professional development opportunities.

Since then, the partnership has continued to blossom with ongoing collaboration that has supported our students. Eric Glatz, 91ÊÓÆµ High School Principal, and Michael Sowiski, Assistant Principal, are dedicated school leaders and work closely with the School of Education on all aspects of our school partnership initiatives.
