Oath Statement
The first step is filling out the oath statement. If you answer yes to any of the questions please contact Dr. King (Old Admin 116), (308) 432-6442. Please only sign in front of a notary with your photo ID. Notaries are typically found in courthouses and banks. If you are on campus we have Janet HartmanCrites 110, Stef Van Vleet Old Admin 114, and Sally Katen Sparks 202 who can notarize for you. This oath statement must be filled out and the original mailed or dropped off to Elizabeth before you can observe. The notarized oath statement is due January 28, 2011.
You will pick Plan 1 or Plan 2
Plan 1
If you would like to observe at a school on Plan 1, please fill out Plan 1 and return it to Elizabeth by January 28, 2011. Please list your first, second and third choices. It is a first come first serve basis. If the school only takes 10 students the first 10 students who turned in their forms get to observe there. Elizabeth will contact the schools for approval. If the school approves she will email you and let you know you can contact the school. Her email will probably come the first week in February, if contacting the schools goes smoothly. Once you are placed at a school on Plan 1 you cannot change schools. Please do not contact schools on Plan 1 until you hear back from Elizabeth Stetson.
Plan 2
For Plan 2 you would contact a school and sets up observations if you opt to observe at a school not on Plan 1. Students may not pick Plan 2 and then contact a school listed on Plan 1. If you are going home for Spring Break Plan 2 might work. If the school needs conformation that you are in Ed Pysch, Elizabeth Stetson can send them a letter.
Please read the Dos and Don’ts sheet
Evaluation/Timesheets
After you can scheduled your observations with the school you will need to fill out the top part of the Evaluation/Timesheet. Your cooperating teacher will fill out the back, they will mail it to Elizabeth in the prepaid envelope you provide. (Elizabeth has envelopes at her office you can pick up). The Evaluations are due by April 22, 2011.
Please check back with Elizabeth a few weeks after you finished observing to see if your Evaluation/Timesheets have been received. If you have any questions about the observations please feel free to contact Elizabeth Stetson.
