Field Placements
- Instructors are responsible for seeking and requesting effective field placements for their teacher candidates, but
all requests need to be documented through
ricplacements.org
- Here is a spreadsheet of potential practicum and/or cooperating teachers who may be interested in hosting our teacher candidates.
List of potential cooperating teachers in all subjects (ask OPP for password)
What to tell teachers?
- RIC pays for practicum, but not observation placements
- To get paid, clinical instructors (host teachers) should submit a request at
this website towards the end of the clinical experience.

Observation Procedures for
Henry Barnard School (Observation Procedures;
Observation Form )
Step 1.
It is the responsibility of the faculty member to find a clinical instructor (teacher) for practicum work with our RIC students.
Keep the Principal informed about your request for using a clinical instructor for practicum at their school.
Step 2.
After finding appropriate clinical instructors, make a formal request on ricplacements.org. ALL placement requests for both observation and practicum must be submitted through this online survey format.
Step 3.
Before your RIC students are allowed to enter the schools, you must have received a formal approval from OPP. This could take two weeks or more for completed district paperwork. If you do not receive an email response from OPP with an approval/denial within 2-weeks, send an email inquiry to OPP.
Step 4.
Inform your students of the district BCI policy and closely follow these rules.
Be sure to follow BCI district procedures (October 2014).
