Announcement to teacher candidates
Due to recent concerns with new employees, all persons who require a FBI criminal background check for Fayette County Public
Schools must submit the following information before their fingerprints will be administered:
• A state issued photo I.D. (i.e. driver’s license/passport) AND
• A social security card
This change applies to your college/university student teacher and practicum placements as they are required to have fingerprints on
file. Fingerprints are still $40.00 and checks or money orders can be made payable to FCPS. It can take up to three weeks for those
results to be returned to the FCPS Human Resources Department.
Student teaching applications for placements have been received and were tentatively approved. During finals week student teachers will recieve an email confirming student teaching placements and the CRN number required for registration. Send email to ekustudentteaching@eku.edu for any questions.

Praticum in France
Are you interested in participating in a 15-week seminar and practicum in France?
The University of Akron invites your participation in a wonderful opportunity for future educators to teach in France! Through a grant
from the U.S. Department of State, up to 15 pre-service/entry level teachers can be sent to France for a 15-week seminar and
practicum.
This program is for students seeking licensure in: Social Studies, Language Arts, Science, Math, Foreign Language, ESL, and Physical
Education. Although they will be teaching in English, participants should have prior French language study, with a proficiency level of
at least “intermediate low.”
This program is designed to allow future educators to experience a different culture and gain insight on global educational issues.
The students will attend a three-day orientation in Akron in August, and then be in France from September through December 2010.
Airfare to and housing in France are provided free of charge to the students, and they will also be given a stipend each month for
living expenses. As well as teaching their subject areas to French students, the educators will have the opportunity to improve their
French language ability and learn more about French culture.
Please share the attached flyer with interested students. Additional information on the program is available online at
www.uakron.edu/colleges/educ/fatiti/USparticipants.php.
Applications are available on the above website. Three cycles of applications will be accepted with due dates of January 29, February
26, and March 26.
