The Field Placement and Advising Office Thelma P. Lally School of Education

The Field Placement and Advising Office can answer questions related to Field Experience, Student Teaching and Academic Advisement; please do not rely on gossip for answers. For advisement you should first seek out your advisor, they should be your first stop but if they are unavailable the Field Placement and Advising office can usually answer questions or point you to the office or resource that can help you.

Field Placement

Many education courses have required Field Experience hours embedded in them. Not only are these hours required for successful completion of your classes but it is a valuable opportunity for students to see firsthand what schools are doing and begin to build professional contacts within the school districts. Students are encouraged to explore urban, suburban and rural schools during their field experience. Field Experience paperwork is available online under the "Field Experience" tab. Student Teaching placements and School Counseling internships are coordinated through the field placements office.

Advisement

The College of Saint Rose is strongly committed to the intellectual, emotional, social and spiritual development of our students. Your faculty advisor is available for discussions about programs of study and career options, among other topics. Please note that it is your advisor's responsibility to guide and counsel. It is your responsibility to make final decisions. When your Advisor is not available or you have questions you can contact the Field Placement and Advising Office located on the first floor of the Lally School of Education in the School of Education offices.
