Can I do my practicum or student teaching at the school of my choice?

There shall be no guarantee for where your teaching practicum/field experience will be located. Our program takes great pride in vetting and securing school partnership relationships that we believe will be the best learning context for you. The only guarantee we can make, is you will be placed on the island you reside on. For example, if you live on Oʻahu, you will be placed on Oʻahu.
