University students who attend a university or college (IHE) with a current memorandum of understanding with LA Unified may seek student teaching, practicum, and internship experiences within our District. Each semester, LA Unified works with dozens of universities and colleges to match over 700 student teachers with a guiding/host teacher.
As student teachers may be required to video record their delivery of instruction to meet state credentialing requirements, current guidance for recording lessons is as follows:
- Parents must provide written consent via the LAUSD Student Teacher Lesson Recording Video Release Form.
- Only students with parent/guardian consent may be video recorded. Students without consent should not be recorded.
- Notification and copies of consent forms must be provided to the guiding/host teacher and principal.
- Student teachers may record on a separate device after obtaining authorization from parents and/or guardians.
- No recording shall be made through the Zoom platform, as doing so may not meet FERPA requirements.
- The university supervisor may observe lessons conducted by the student teacher but must obtain permission from the guiding/host teacher and inform the principal of the date and scheduled timeframe.
- The university supervisor may not record any video or other images from their observations.
- The official LAUSD Student Teacher Recording Request Form is available for distribution and use. Click on the tab above to download the form.
