• Before the Field Experience or Internship starts, a student听who wishes听to withdraw for any reason must ensure that they drop the associated EDFE or EDIN course in Minerva and notify the Internships & Student Affairs Office at least 2 weeks prior to the start date so that we have ample time to notify the host school.听
• After the Field Experience or Internship starts, a student who wishes to听飞颈迟丑诲谤补飞听for any reason must immediately notify the Internships & Student Affairs Office. Based on the circumstances and reason for withdrawal, the ISA Director will determine the final outcome of the EDFE or EDIN course. Typically withdrawal requests are without refund after the placement starts.

Student teachers may be removed from their Field Experience or Internship placement at any time, either at the request of their host school or the ISA Office. In this situation, the ISA Director will determine the outcome of the placement. Students may request to meet with the ISA Director during this process.听

Circumstances that could lead to听dismissal include, but are not limited to:听

In the case of dismissal,听MATL students听who are using a听paid contract听to fulfill their Internship (EDIN) requirement should note that the employment relationship with the school board/school remains separate from the academic relationship with 不良研究所. For example:听

• Internship is concluded听by 不良研究所 because the student is missing pre-requisite courses; the student remains employed as a teacher at the discretion of the school
• Internship is concluded听by 不良研究所 because听improvements outlined in听a Competency Improvement Plan (CIP)听have not been addressed; the student remains employed as a teacher at the discretion of the school
• Internship is concluded听by the school board/school; the ISA Director听will decide the outcome of the Internship course (EDIN)
