Students may log into S4(opens in new window) and begin completing their application documents once they have been notified by their instructor and/or the School of Education. The Early Field Experience Application and Early Field Experience Student Availability & Acknowledgement Form can both be found on the home page of S4 under the "Early Field Experience Students" header. These forms must be completed in their entirety in order for you to be cleared for and/or receive a placement.
If you are a distance learner (meaning that you require a volunteer placement outside of Chico), you are required to find your own placement at a K-12 school site within your local community. Please indicate that you are a distance learner or if you have found your own placement on the Early Field Experience Student Application.
Students who have found their own placements must include their placement information (days and time ranges) and their Mentor Teacher's contact information on their applications.
Once you have completed your Early Field Experience Student Application, please complete the Early Field Experience Student Availability & Acknowledgement Form. All students are required to complete this form, regardless of whether or not they need a volunteer placement opportunity assigned to them by the School of Education.
Have questions about the application? Please read the Early Field Experience Application Guide (PDF). Still have questions after reading the Application Guide? Please contact Megan Mann by emailing efe@csuchico.edu(opens in new window) or by calling 530-898-6293.
