Austin ISD and Round Rock ISD Placements

Austin ISD and Round Rock ISD Placements

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 Sheet. 

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 date.
