Student Teacher Orientation Information
Welcome to Harford County Public Schools! As a student teacher, you will have the opportunity to observe, interact, and eventually teach in a classroom of HCPS students. In order to prepare you, your college or university has guided you through courses and observations. We ask that you take the time to review the following documents from HCPS in order to equip yourself to succeed in our school system.
You will find a PowerPoint presentation below, be sure to have access to speakers as it is narrated, about your duties as a student teacher in HCPS and what we as a school system will provide you in addition to other presentations and information. You will also find three documents that must be completed and submitted to HCPS by Friday, September 3, 2010. You may email the completed forms to Jillian.Ellwood@hcps.org or send via courier mail to: Jillian Ellwood, Human Resources Office.
If you are completing an observation this semester, please feel free to review this information. It will assist you in your observation as it will familiarize you with HCPS policies and procedures. Do not complete or submit the forms if you are completing an observation. These forms are only for student teachers. If you choose to complete a student teaching placement with HCPS, you will be asked to review and complete the forms at that time; they will not be accepted prior.
