Student Teaching in the Champaign Region
Here is some information that should help you make plans for next semester.
You have been assigned to the Champaign Region for student teaching. This region includes Champaign, Urbana, Danville, and surrounding areas. Due to excessive requests and over selection of the Charleston Area, the Student Teaching Department has had to assign students further away to surrounding regions. We strongly encourage you to relocate to the community where you are assigned. Please note: the date has passed for the Student Teaching Department to make changes of your assigned area for spring 2013 student teaching. At the pre-placement conference we will discuss what are the best placement choices in the Champaign Region for your situation.
