Clinical Experiences & Partnerships

The Clinical Experience Program at Kutztown University

The Clinical Experience program at Kutztown University is a collaborative partnership between mentor teachers, KU supervisors, and the Office of Clinical Experiences & Partnerships. Its mission is to provide students with a successful capstone experience in their pre-service teacher education program. ​

These partners collaborate in a wide variety of settings, such as public, private, charter, and parochial schools, intermediate units, museums, and other educational institutions, to provide a high-quality clinical experience. The Kutztown University service area includes over 100 affiliated partners in the counties surrounding the university and special out-of-state programs. ​Please contact our office for more information on any opportunities for out-of-state placements.

This 16-week program is an opportunity for teacher candidates to polish their teaching skills and become professionals under the guidance of a mentor teacher and KU supervisor.
