Student Observers

Student Observers are required to complete 16 hours or less of classroom observations and do not interact with North East students.

External Candidates must complete the following:

Step 1: A student must complete an online Student Observer History Record Check through the Volunteer Program.

Step 2: Once the background is cleared, the student will receive an email with a student observer identification number.  The email serves as verification that a background check was completed and cleared.

Step 3: The student should forward the Student Observer Applicant email to studentplacements@neisd.net and include the answers to the following questions:

• What is the name of the certification/preparation program?
• What certification area are you seeking?
• What are your grade/subject level preference(s)? Please be specific and list in order of preference.
• How many hours does the program require?
• List 4 campuses in order of preference.
• Specify the timeframe in which the hours will be completed.

The student observers will then receive an email from the New Talent Team with the assigned school, mentor teacher name and contact information.

Note:

*It is the principal's decision to approve or deny the request.

Internal Candidates (current NEISD employees) must complete the steps below:

Step 1: Employee/Student must notify immediate supervisor of the request to complete classroom observations/field experience for program. Please read and follow the guidelines below.

Guidelines for North East ISD Employees Seeking Placements:

1. Employees of NEISD requesting to complete an internship, classroom observations and/or field experience, are expected to adhere to a normal work schedule, performing their duties and responsibilities in accordance with their job assignments.
