Intervention
Should Problems Arise
If problems arise for a Georgia Southern teacher candidate in the field experience or clinical practice experience, the school contact person should be informed as well as the university supervisor. If the university supervisor is unavailable, the department chair or director of field experiences and clinical practice should be contacted.
Intervention Policies for Field Experiences and Clinical Practice
- Candidates are allowed a maximum of two (2) Professional Support Plans (A/B) (each for different areas of difficulty) per field experience or clinical practice.
- Candidates are allowed a maximum of one (1) Probationary Status per field experience or clinical practice.
- Candidates may repeat each field experience or clinical practice one (1) time.
- Withdrawing without academic penalty, withdrawing failing, or withdrawing at the recommendation of the program faculty from a field experience or clinical practice will be considered one (1) attempt at that field experience.
- When school personnel request that candidates be removed from the school for performance or professional reasons the placement will end immediately. A new field placement will rarely be identified until the following semester.

- In very rare situations an extension of a pre-student teaching or internship field experience (maximum of two weeks) may occur at the recommendation of the program coordinator and upon approval of the department chair.
- In very rare situations an extension of the student teaching experience or internship experience (maximum of three weeks) may occur at the recommendation of the Program Coordinator and upon approval of the department chair.
