Interns/Student Teachers

Each student teacher or intern is placed with a master educator recommended by program, content, and school leaders. Student teachers are often invited to participate in professional learning and to engage with high-quality educators and teacher leaders in their schools. 

LCSD1 hires numerous educators annually to keep pace with our growing schools, and we look forward to getting to know potential candidates through internship and practicum experiences.  It is our hope that you will consider a career in Lexington District One!

No later than July 1 (for fall placement) or November 1 (for spring placement), students interested in completing a practicum or internship with LCSD1 must initiate the following process: 

1. Candidates should contact their College or University Supervisor to request placement.

2. College or University Supervisor should complete and submit this placement request.

3. LCSD1 Human Resources Department will verify the information submitted and seek a placement for candidates from approved programs.

4. LCSD1 will send candidates training acknowledgements for technology use and confidentiality to complete prior to beginning any internship experience. We will not confirm an internship placement until these training certificates are submitted. 

5. LCSD1 Human Resources Department will send placement confirmation or notification of a declined request to the requesting college or university supervisor.

Please Note: Candidates applying to complete student teaching or clinical experience leading to educator certification must ensure that they have completed the requirements of the South Carolina Department of Education via the following link Applying for Student Teaching in South Carolina.
