Student Teaching

To apply for a student teaching internship at CSD, the prospective student teacher will need to send the following information:

A letter of interest in student teaching at our school
His/her resume
Copies of his/her undergraduate and graduate transcripts

Student teachers will need to go through interviews, either in person or through the videophone. During the interview, they will be evaluated for their knowledge about teaching Deaf students as well as for their ASL proficiency. We accept student teachers who possess a certain level of ASL proficiency so the continued educational progress for our students is assured with our student teachers.

In the event of being accepted for the internship, the student teacher will need to send in the following documents:

A copy of the Certificate of Clearance (this is a document certifying that the individual applying has been fingerprinted and obtained clearance from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, probably through the Commission on Teacher Credentialing office)

A copy of the TB test result taken within 6 months prior to the student teaching internship

It is imperative that these two documents be sent to the Supervisor of Curriculum and Media Services at least two weeks prior to the first day of the student teaching internship. Please fax them, addressed to Robin Zane, at (510) 794-3727 or mail them to:
