The pre-service educator should contact the office manager or cooperating teacher within one week of obtaining placement.

On the first visit to the assigned school, pre-service educators should complete the Las Vegas Request for Placement Form and have the cooperating teacher and school principal complete the "placement information" section of the form. Pre-service Educators should submit the completed Request for Placement Form to the Academic Program Manager.

Pre-service educators are required to log all time spent in the classroom after each visit using the Field Experiences Checklist.

Pre-service educators should ask their cooperating teacher to sign the checklist and complete the Field Experiences Evaluation Form that corresponds to their block of courses, at the end of each 16-week semester.
