Placement Requirements
Each pre-practicum/practicum site must be approved by Bay Path University. Written documentation and a formal written request for placements must be submitted to the BPU practicum coordinator at each site prior to the approval of the practicum site. Applicable forms for this documentation are listed below under your program.
All pre-practicum/practicum sites must be in Massachusetts and be within a 50 mile radius of where the student is taking his/her primary coursework. It is the responsibility of the local school/school district to conduct a CORI review. Fingerprinting is the responsibility of the teacher candidate or local school district.
All supervising practitioners (mentor teachers) must have an initial teaching license or higher in the same license field and level as what the candidate is seeking. Please speak to your practicum seminar instructor if you have questions about this.
