New Student Teaching Regulations Memo & Statement of Assurance
Recent changes in regulations will impact all teacher education programs that lead to initial or initial/professional certificates registered in New York State beginning in the Fall 2024 semester. The changes impact the duration and structure of clinical practice, place an emphasis on who may provide clinical supervision (their qualifications and the plan to ensure clinical faculty stay current in providing effective clinical supervision) and require partnerships to be established and maintained to support effective clinical practice. Please see the Teacher, Educational Leader, or Pupil Personnel Services page for additional information. The Office of College and University Evaluation (OCUE) requires all institutions with teacher education programs impacted by the above changes to complete a Statement of Assurance Form by July 1st, 2024. Questions should be sent to OCUEinfo@nysed.gov.
