Clinical Practice

Illinois State law requires that all student teachers have a current tuberculosis (TB) test for student teaching. Candidates will be required to obtain and submit an updated TB clearance after applying for Clinical Practice, if a TB clearance has not been administered within 1 year of the first Clinical Practice experience. Keep in mind that each site/school may have slightly different requirements for student teachers and may require a more recent TB test. Student teachers should discuss this with the site/school as soon as possible in the placement process.
