Background Check You must submit a background check to the school district you are working in before you begin student teaching. If you do not submit a background check, you will be pulled from your placement. Background checks completed for field experience may be valid for student teaching if 1) it was completed in the same academic school year your student teaching will be completed, 2) the district is the same for both field experience and student teaching, and 3) if you are student teaching in your own room Once you get your placement for student teaching, it is your responsibility to submit that specific school district's background check to the district's authorized personnel. Everything you need in order to complete and submit your background check are found in the links below. Click on your school district. Follow the directions carefully. Fill out and submit all forms as soon as you know where you are placed. If you do not submit the background check before you are to start student teaching, your placement will be delayed until all paperwork is completed. A delayed start also means that your end date for student teaching will also be delayed. If you have any questions about background check submission or don't see the district listed below, please contact Danielle Zdon (dzdon01@hamline.edu).
