Butte College education students to observe in district classrooms

Official wording

Approve Field Experience Agreement with Butte-Glenn Community College District This Field Experience Partnership Agreement between PVUSD and Butte-Glenn Community College District establishes a pipeline for students in Butte College’s "Introduction to Education" program to complete 45 required classroom observation hours within district schools. Commencing September 1, 2026, for a five-year term, the agreement allows college students pursuing teaching credentials to gain early field experience by observing lessons, supporting small groups, and engaging with credentialed district mentors. The District retains full authority to screen and reject student placements, while Butte College ensures students complete basic program applications and health clearances. Participating host teachers will verify weekly time logs and complete an end-of-semester disposition evaluation for each student. District administration recommends approval of this agreement to foster future educator pathways and support community partnerships.
