Fall 2025 Reminders

As you prepare for your first clinical practice course in the second phase, please take note of the following required tasks to complete before the semester begins. You will receive further emails during the Spring 2025 semester with additional details, but we encourage you to mark your calendars for the tasks outlined below.

 
# Task Description Date
1 Complete the Clinical Practice Application

The Office of Clinical Practice (OCP) coordinates placements and assigns university coaches. To communicate your placement preferences, please complete the clinical practice application by the priority deadline date. This also helps OCP identify coach hiring needs for the upcoming semester. After submission, your name will be added to the OCP placement sheet.

  • Candidates are strictly prohibited from making their own school site placements.
  • Residents do not need to submit this application
  • Students who do not submit their placement application on time will be placed by availability rather than preference

OCP will email an announcement with the link to the Clinical Practice Application.

Available by the 6th week of the semester
2 Purchase Tk20

Teacher Candidates are required to purchase their Tk20 account prior to the start of the semester of their first clinical practice course. A Tk20 account is approximately $110.00+ sales tax (calculated based on the ZIP code entered for the billing address). This is a one-time purchase that will give you access to your student files for seven years.

Tk20 Purchase Instructions

Purchase by August 18, 2025

Register as early as possible to avoid any unforeseen issues and ensure your account is set up before the semester begins.

3 Register for the Teacher Education Induction Ceremony & Orientation
