Office of Clinical Practice
The Office of Clinical Practice, formerly 'Field Placements', coordinates the placement of teacher candidates at school sites for their fieldwork courses. We place multiple subject candidates for their second and third phase placements, single subject candidates for their first phase placements, and education specialist candidates for all three phases.
Our teacher candidates work in a diverse portion of California with a wide range of demographics. Candidates are placed in the following counties: Fresno, Kings, Madera, and Tulare

This account should be purchased before you apply for your first field placement course.

FAST (Fresno Assessment of Student Teachers)
The Fresno Assessment of Student Teachers (FAST) is a Teaching Performance Assessment (TPA) system designed for exclusive use at California State University, Fresno. FAST assesses the pedagogical competence of teacher candidates, including interns, with respect to the Teaching Performance Expectations (TPEs).
FAST consists of two projects. Single Subject and Multiple Subject candidates complete the Site Visitation Project during their initial student teaching placements. Candidates and interns complete the Teaching Sample Project during final student teaching (including internship).
