AISD Fall 2024 Placement Timeline for UT
...
AISD cooperating teacher recruitment begins
- UT Coordinators supply teachers in Austin ISD with AISD’s electronic Interest form. There is no longer a separate CT Agreement form for UT-AISD placements.
- For campuses where the coordinator has no prior relationship, reach out to the principal for guidance. If a relationship is already in place, you may contact teachers directly. It is recommended to let principals know you are recruiting at their campus.
- Send a list of the CTs that you are recruiting to jenny.carney@austin.utexas.edu using the placement worksheet located on Wiki and these names will be added to the CT tracking document located on UT Box to identify them as the CTs that you are recruiting. As Interest Forms are received the CT tracking document will be updated.

All CT interest forms are due to AISD by April 12th
- Coordinators are able to monitor the receipt of AISD’s Interest Forms using the CT tracking document on UT Box to ensure the deadline is met. Receiving a CT Interest form confirmation does not guarantee that you will partner with this CT next semester. (At this stage it does not have principal approval.)
- Jenny to monitor tracking document for unassigned CTs and any issues.

In the past, UT had an agreement form, and AISD did as well. We have now collaborated with Austin ISD to create one form and share the contents. This is our pilot semester, and we will continue to make improvements with your feedback. We ask for your flexibility as we try a new approach to making the CT recruiting process smoother for everyone. The Cooperating Teacher tracking document is what you will see in UT BOX and will be continuously updated as CT Interest forms are received. Note: Using the new form, the principal approval occurs by April 26th. If the principal does not recommend the CT, which rarely happens, we will contact you.

During the initial month of recruiting (March 18th-April 12th), if you are working to connect with a school and are not getting a response from the principal, please email Kelly at kcruise@utexas.edu. She will reach out to the district each week with a list of schools that have been unresponsive to requests and AISD will nudge the principals. Send your needs to her by Friday of the second week(after reaching out twice with no response) and she will send the district a list of nudge requests by the following Monday.
PLEASE REMIND ALL CT'S YOU RECRUIT TO INDICATE ON THE FORM THAT THEY WANT TO WORK WITH YOU.
