What if I want to student teach at a Department of Defense Dependents School?
Rio Salado College is a participating college with a student teaching agreement in place with DoDDS. If you want to student teach in a Department of Defense Dependents School (DoDDS), you must follow their requirements. Your student teaching request must be by submitted on a DoDDS form, sent to Rio for signature, and then forwarded by Rio to DoDDS.
