Can a student-teaching experience be terminated?
If the student teacher demonstrates unethical or unprofessional behavior or fails to meet the pre-established requirements, student teaching can be terminated. A representative from the cooperating school and the college or university will make this decision. The termination of student teaching can be requested by the cooperating school or university. Human Resources reserves the authority, according to the Student Teacher and Pre-Service Teacher Enrollment Policy – Section 504.10, to remove any student teacher(s) from a CPS school site that hasn’t undergone the required student teacher registration process and received official approval from the CPS Human Resources Department.
