Who is eligible to complete observation hours?
Preservice teachers who have been approved by their Educator Preparation Program (EPP) may request to conduct observation hours.

Note: This application will require you to submit approval to engage in field observation from your EPP.

How many hours am I allowed to complete?

Will I be allowed to split hours in various campuses?
You will need approval from your EPP to earn hours across more than one campus for the district/campus to consider multiple placements requests.


How will I receive confirmation about my placement?
You will receive an email confirming your placement along with contact information for the campus principal where you will be completing your observation hours.

Can I decide what campus or teacher/class I will be observing?
All requests to observe at a specific campus are considered but are not guaranteed. You will be paired with a highly qualified teacher as defined by Texas Administrastive Code 228.35 and your EPP's Clincial Teaching requirements.


Will I have to do a background check?
All classroom observers will be required to complete a background check. The background check will be completed by the HR department prior to placement confirmation.
