Community High School District 155 accepts student teachers and/or interns every semester. District 155 sends an email to all school Division Leaders twice a year to see if they are interested in hosting a student teacher or intern.

 If you are interested in applying, there is required paperwork:

• Placement request from University;
• Resume;

• Three references (contact information required only);

• Letter of interest; 

• Unofficial transcript;

• DCFS Mandated Reporter (click here for training) - certificate of completion needed.

*If you are a District 155 grad, the office will not place you at your graduating school*

D155 receives a large number of requests each year.  With this in mind, candidates should be in good academic standing with their university, have a solid academic background, and strong grades in their specific content area. 

Observation hours are scheduled directly through the Principal and/or the Division Leader. The student teacher/intern will always be supervised.

If you have any questions about the required paperwork or the student teaching/internship program please contact Kathy Gilbert (kgilbert@d155.org).
