Student Teaching

Mt. Diablo Unified is proud to host student teachers from many Universities.  Once we have a board approved Memorandum of Understanding on file with your University we can assist you in getting cleared as a student teacher. 

You must be fingerprinted and be cleared by our district in order to be able to be in a classroom with students. Fingerprinting is done at the district offices on Orientation day. A list of items to bring to orientation will be provided prior to scheduling an orientation.

Human Resources will assist eligible candidates in applying for the Emergency 30-Day Substitute Teaching Permit. 

* Field work and observation hours also fall under the Student Teaching umbrella. 

For questions regarding student teaching, please call Human Resources at (925) 682-8000. 

Student Teacher Clearance

In order to ensure all student teachers get cleared in a timely manner, we have changed the clearance process and are hoping this will help speed up the clearance process. Student teachers will be processed as volunteers for the district. Once you have confirmed your placement from the Placement Coordinator and have signed the agreement, please reach out to Human Resources (925) 682-8000 to schedule a fingerprint appointment. The cost is $32.00. Please bring a money order written out to MDUSD. Be sure to bring your TB clearance as well. As soon as fingerprints are received, Human Resources will clear you and notify you.
