To be eligible for any student teaching placement, candidates are required to be fingerprinted for the Colorado Department of Education (CDE) as a Field Experience Educator. A criminal history check will be obtained by the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and then routed to CDE. The CDE will make this information available to Fort Lewis College as your Educator Prep Program as well as the school district and/or charter school where you will be placed for your field-bases learning. View the fingerprinting & background check instructions.
All questions about this process should be directed to the School of Education Administrative Assistant, EBH 249 or 970-247-7291.
If you are employed as a teacher outside of Colorado, you will need to complete a background check and submit your fingerprints to the Colorado Department of Education.
