Clear Creek ISD

Instructors:

1. CCISD Field Experience course requirements and rosters are to be submitted to CPDT in a timely manner so names can be placed on a Spreadsheet for CCISD. Your rosters are then forwarded to CCISD along with the spreadsheet. 
2. Clear Creek ISD will continue to host Field Experience for the current school year by providing up to 30 hours per student (10 hours with up to 3 teachers).
