Student Teaching Request for Placement

1. Go to weber.edu and click your portrait (circle) in the top right of the screen
2. Log into your Weber account using DUO two-factor authentication
3. In the eWeber portal “Search for Portal Apps….” area, type "Teacher Education Student Portal" and click on the application.
   

Most students will already have an application in the system, as this is the same application you used to apply to the Teacher Education Program. If you already have an application in the system, you will see your program listed as a purple underlined link.  Do not create a new application if one already exists.

• If you have an application, but the program is incorrect, contact Patty Coan (pcoan@weber.edu).
• If you do not have an application, create one by pushing the "Start Another Application" button and begin your application. (NOTE: do this action ONLY if you do not see a program listing under the “Your Applications” area)

WSU Teacher Education programs require a USBE clearance. If you do not have a USBE background clearance, apply at the Background Check website.

Attach a document with your Cactus ID number listed (use a screenshot from your USIMS/Cactus account; it must show your name, Cactus ID number, and that your background check is cleared, with a date).  Here is what the screenshot should look like: Background Clearance Verification. The document/screenshot must be uploaded to the "File Manager" section of your application in the Teacher Education Student Portal.

All background checks will be verified with USBE before you may student teach.

You can either:

• Type an autobiography into the Application section (click the + on the right next to Application) OR
• Upload a document of no more than one to two paragraphs relating personal experiences, why you chose to be a teacher, and your goals.  The document should be uploaded to the "File Manager" section of your application in the Teacher Education Student Portal.

Upload a signed copy of the Attestation Form to the "File Manager" section of your application in the Teacher Education Student Portal.

This step is for MAT/PBCT Program student ONLY.

Provide a signed copy of the MAT/PBCT Program Student Verification Form (PDF) completed by the MAT Program Director, Dr. Sheryl Rushton (sherylrushton@weber.edu). Upload the form to the "File Manager" section of your application.

This step is for undergraduate Secondary Education students ONLY.  Snow Program students, Elementary, Special Education, and MAT/PBCT Program students do not need to complete this form.

Provide a signed copy of the Secondary Completion Verification Form (PDF) completed and signed by your major/minor advisor(s). Upload the form to the "File Manager" section of your application.

This step is for ESL students ONLY.

Provide a signed copy of the ESL Verification Form (PDF) completed by Dr. David Byrd (davidbyrd@weber.edu) for signature. Upload a copy of the signed form to the "File Manager" section of your application in the Teacher Education Student Portal.
