Student teaching in Alaska

[swinfrey]

Hello all,

I am scheduled to do my student teaching beginning in the Spring of 2021 term. I am currently in Arkansas, and have seriously thought about inquiring about doing my student teaching in Alaska. Is this a possibility? I am married and have four young boys also, and am a non-traditional student age. Hubby and I are almost certain that we want to move to Alaska anyhow once I graduate in May of 2021.

Anyone have any helpful information? Thank you in advance!

Hello,

Yes, there is a process for student teachers from other states to be put in touch with school districts willing to host them. It's explained on the main Alaska Teacher Placement (ATP) website front page here:

Here is the direct link to the application page:

Hope this helps,
