Student Teaching and Internships

Thank you for considering Hertford County Public Schools as the prospective site for your internship, student teaching, practicum and/or pre-service experience.

Any student who wishes to seek a school placement with HCPS must complete the following steps in order:

  1. College Initiates Request
    The college or university contacts the HR Department with specific internship or student teaching placement requests.

  2. Placement Determination
    The HR Department collaborates with the school principal to identify an appropriate cooperating teacher. The HR Department notifies college personnel once a placement is identified.

  3. Background Check
    The student completes the required background check after placement information is provided.

  4. Board of Education Approval
    The student’s name is submitted to the Board of Education for official approval.

  5. Internship Begins
    Upon Board approval, the student may begin the internship or student teaching assignment.

 

Students must work through the placement contact at their college or university regarding potential placements. Students are not permitted to contact schools or Human Resources directly to request placements.
