Student Teaching, Practicum & Classroom Observation
Keller ISD welcomes student/clinical teachers, intern/practicum, and student observation applicants during the fall and spring semesters!
All clinical teachers and early field experience applicants must complete an Online Application to be considered for placement with Keller ISD. A criminal background check will be processed by our Human Resources Department. University and certification program partnerships and/or confidentiality agreements must be on file before placement can begin.
Please note that completion of the application and placement request form does not guarantee a placement.
