The Office of Clinical Experiences (OCE) was established to coordinate the placement of undergraduate students, alternative certification program students, and graduate program students enrolled in educator preparation programs requiring field placements and internships. Major relationships have been established with principals and instructional supervisors in local school systems in the west Alabama area and, to a limited extent, other school systems in Alabama.
The Office of Clinical Experiences and College of Education value its partnership with the area schools and classroom teachers. Thank you for your willingness to open your classrooms to teacher candidates and interns.
