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 whose mission is to provide students a successful capstone experience in their pre-service teacher education program. ​

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

This 15-week program is an opportunity for teacher candidates to polish their teaching skills and take on the role of a professional under the guidance of the mentor teacher and KU supervisor.
