- Fort Bend ISD will open up the application process around the third week of January.
- Students are to submit a university or program letter, prepared by the instructor stating the need to do observations.
- Fort Bend ISD Human Resources will email students once the background check and application clears with campus and student observes of the placement.
- The campus and the student observers arrange a time for observation. *If Covid indicators rise, student observers are provided specific times/dates for observations on given campuses.
Note: The information provided below are for general student observers; a general student observer observes classrooms. Other options are available. Student observers (usually requesting a significant number of hours) who observe the same classroom for a few times and then present a lesson or they work with a teacher in learning the “behind the scenes” of being a teacher, have to complete an affidavit.
Note: Students will forward district approval letters/emails if available to the course instructor.
Students:
- Go to the Fort Bend ISD Student Observations webpage. Read and follow all instructions to complete the online application and background check request.
- Once the application is processed and background check clears, Fort Bend ISD Human Resources will notify campus and student of placement.
- Once you receive your placement, contact the campus contact person to set up your observation hours.
- Guidelines:
- observers do NOT contact campuses, principals or teachers to set up something outside the above guidelines.
- If you have a family member or work on the campus, you are requested to go to another campus to insure fidelity.
Note: Students will forward district approval letters/emails if available to the course instructor.
