NOTICE

We’re excited you’ve decided to student teach and/or observe in Arlington ISD! The AISD HR Recruitment and Talent Selection team processes clearance for all program/university student teachers, interns, practicum, and clinical students in the same manner. We process background clearance; however, we do not secure placement. You will need to work with your university/program rep and/or with an AISD Principal directly for placement. Please see below for steps to initiate the clearance process.

For all student observation requests, email AISDstudentobservers@aisd.net.

For all student teaching requests, email AISDstudentteachers@aisd.net.

For student observation and student teaching questions, please send an email to AISDstudentobservers@aisd.net or AISDstudentteachers@aisd.net.

Student teacher application

  • Step 1: Make sure to use Google Chrome as your browser.
  • Step 2: Fill out the application, do not copy/paste information and do not leave any blanks.
  • Step 3: University Course information page will ask for your course ID, if you're in an alternative certification program enter 1234 as the course ID. If you're with a university/program other than UTA, it'll pull up the university as UTA (that's ok, just leave it as-is).

After completing the application, send the following:

  • A scan of your driver's license
  • Syllabus or program letter 

Once application is submitted and documents are sent to either AISDstudentobservers@aisd.net or AISDstudentteachers@aisd.net. (depending on if you’re observing or student teaching) the HR Talent Selection team will notify you with background clearance and next steps. Until then, you are not cleared to start.
