Millersville University is affiliated with the public school districts in Lancaster County. With their cooperation, the University is able to place student teachers within the elementary and secondary schools in the region. This responsibility rests solely with the University. Students may not, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, contact school personnel to arrange their own placements. Please note that district personnel consider this to be unprofessional behavior, and that such contact may jeopardize your student teaching placement.

Many factors influence a student's placement within a school. These include the availability of a school-district-approved cooperating teacher, the appropriateness for the student's major, a student's prior field placements, the availability of a student teaching supervisor, and more.

Ideally, students would be able to identify the sites of their placements. However, due to the large student teacher population, the University cannot honor these requests. Thus, professionals within the School of Education select the teaching sites believed to best continue students' professional development.

In a limited number of instances, the University will make requests of school districts to secure placements outside of Lancaster County. There is no guarantee that by requesting such a placement, you will be able to be accommodated. Request for placements that cannot be secured within a reasonable interval of time will result in the student being placed within Lancaster County or its evnirons.

Student Teachers are expected to provide their own transportation for student teaching.
