Welcome to the Office of Field Experiences in the Department of Learning and Teaching. On this page, you will find downloadable resources for teacher candidates already enrolled in our programs as well as for university supervisors and cooperating teachers who mentor and support our teacher candidates. It is our ongoing goal to meet and exceed the State of California’s Guidance on Clinical Practice and Supervision. If you cannot find what you’re looking for on this site or you have a question, please email me at amandaroth@sandiego.edu for assistance.
Thank you,
Amanda Roth, Ph.D. Director of Field Experiences & Professor of Practice
