What if the preservice teacher is sick during professional experience?
The preservice teacher must notify their school and the Professional Experience Office immediately. The preservice teacher is required to make this day up at the end of the block period. A completed negotiated make up days form must be signed and submitted to the Professional Experience Office before the preservice teacher attends these additional days. Verification such as a Doctor’s Certificate is required for any absences more than 1 day during the Prac period. This includes an absence during lead in days and an absence during block. Documentation is required to support either absence. Successive absences of 5 days or more require approval to vary prac from the Director of the PEO.
