It is very important that the teaching assignments are consistent over the course of the internship year. It becomes quite complex when a change must occur, including the Field Supervisor’s travel, possibly changing the Field Supervisor, changing mentor teachers, the training involved, etc., etc. This is why a consistent assignment was communicated and agreed upon from the hiring district when the Statement of Eligibility (SOE) was initially sent.
We also understand that sometimes a change in assignment is necessary due to student numbers, etc. Even though candidates are NOT permitted (by Texas Administrative Code) to change districts during the internship, if a district REQUIRES that a teacher move campuses and/or teaching assignments during the internship, it can be permitted. The new teaching assignment still MUST meet the grade level and subject requirements of the certification category/ies being sought.
ANY TIME that a change is being considered by a district, it would be very important for the candidate to notify his/her field supervisor, the Director of Field Experiences.
