Position Requirements & Limitations
- Roles must be student-facing, preferably in a classroom setting
- Students must be under the direct supervision of a district employee and have access to a direct supervisor
- We advise against leaving Student Participants alone with K-12 students unsupervised
- Student Particpants should not be assigned to work with students with moderate to severe disabilities
- The availability of Student Participants will vary depending on college course schedules. However, the ideal experience for students would be to work closely with 1-2 teachers per semester.
- The K-16 Collaborative hopes to facilitate open and honest communication between the student, supervisor, and the district. Districts are responsible for informing the K-16 Collaborative Team of any issues related to the performance or conduct of Student Participants.
- Student Preparation
Student Participants will receive 15-20 hours of additional training, organized and facilitated by the K-16 Collaborative Grant team. This training will help prepare participants to work effectively with K-12 students and to better understand next steps involved in pursuing a career in education.
- Ongoing Support
The K-16 Collaborative Grant team will also offer an ongoing Community of Practice (CoP) for participants to share and reflect on experiences and best practices throughout the school year.
