Student Observation

Due to the volume of requests, Plano ISD will only place individuals for observations who are in university based programs that lead directly to student teaching or the Region 10 Certification Program or the Collin College Teacher Certification Program.  Students will be placed, if they need 20 or more observation hours.  We will not place student observers from junior colleges, alternative certification programs or online programs.

Requests:  University personnel should submit request for student observation placements to:
