Field Experience: The state of Illinois requires students to complete a number of preclinical
experiences prior to student-teaching, called field experiences. Field experiences at Trinity are
linked with multiple education and special education courses, and placements are made by a field
experience coordinator. Students experience a variety of settings and grade levels to prepare them for
the realities of the teaching profession. Students in each teacher education program must complete
200 hours of field experience prior to student-teaching.
Portfolios: All education majors and minors complete a portfolio. Students pay a one-time,
non-refundable technology fee of $100 in Computer Science 109. Transfer students who receive
transfer credit for Computer Science 109 will also be assessed a fee of $100.
