In the past, UT had an agreement form, and AISD did as well.  We have now collaborated with Austin ISD

AISD and RRISD placements are made through the Education Services Office by using the Online Placement System (OPS).  Teachers may be recruited during the dates listed in the Recruiting and Placement Timeline by supplying them with a Cooperating Teacher Application that they fill out, have signed by their principal, and submit to the district.  Before the OPS opens, all of the available cooperating teachers are uploaded into the system.  During the Placement Period, coordinators access the system and make placements.  After the OPS closes at the end of the Placement Period, any new placements must be e-mailed to redset@austin.utexas.edu using the Coordinator Placement SheetGet excel viewerImage Removed

Intern Placements

Cooperating teachers for intern placements should be marked in the OPS by the time the system closes.  However, "TBD" student assignments are allowed to remain in the system as placeholders.  Final CT/intern matches are due at the end of the semester.  Please refer to the Recruiting and Placement Timeline for the specific due date.

Student Teacher Placements

Cooperating teachers for student teachers should be marked in the OPS with a specific student assigned by the time the system closes.  The districts require names for these assignments in order to secure the CT.  Any teachers that still have a "TBD" student teacher assignment after the system has closed will be released to other teacher certification programs.  Please refer to the Recruiting and Placement Timeline for specific the due dateto 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.
