Single Subject (Math/Science/English/Social Science) Student Teaching Placement Request Form
In addition to academic coursework, the UCSC MA/Credential Program requires a 9 - 10 month student teaching experience. Your student teaching is a crucial part of the MA/Credential Program, and we work very hard to find placements with expert teachers who will guide your development as a teacher.

To ensure the best placement possible, please carefully complete the online form below. If you have questions, please refer to the Multiple Subject Student Teaching Overview on our website. You may also email Dr. Soleste Hilberg, Program Director, at soleste@ucsc.edu if you have additional questions (Dr. Kip Téllez will serve as acting director from April through June, ktéllez@ucsc.edu). 

As you complete the form, please keep in mind that at least one of your placements must be in a school with a significant number of English Learners. Thus, many of our placement schools are outside the city of Santa Cruz. You should plan on commuting or carpooling to schools some distance from campus (e.g., Watsonville, Castroville). The daily combination of traveling to placement and then to classes on campus makes reliable transportation a must.

FORM MUST BE SUBMITTED BY: MAY 1
