    INSURANCE
    The school, teacher, and student teacher may be legally responsible for injuries or other situations which may occur when working with students. The student teacher must obtain liability coverage through Education Minnesota (EM) or Association of American Educators (AAE) before the start of student teaching. Applications for liability insurance are available online at Education Minnesota or Association of American Educators. The cost of this coverage is minimal.

    BACKGROUND CHECK INFORMATION
    Every teacher candidate must have a background check done for the school district they are placed in.  It is your responsibility to complete, pay for and submit all forms needed to the appropriate district personnel BEFORE you begin your placement.  If a background check is not submitted to the school district before your first day of student teaching, it may result in a pulled placement.
