Wylie ISD welcomes clinical teachers during the fall and spring semesters. To request placement, please follow the steps below. All clinical teacher requests are handled through Human Resources. Students or representatives should not contact teachers or principals directly. Review the Clinical Teacher Handbook for more information on our program.

Placement Process

1. Clinical Teacher requests must be made by the university or certification program.
   The request must include:
   • Description of the assignment
   • Certification being sought
   • Preferences for school or grade level
   • Assignment starting and ending dates or total hours required.
2. Complete an online background check for the district.

*Wylie ISD will accept clinical teaching requests for Fall 2023 through August 1, 2023.

Clinical Teachers will attend a district orientation to get an overview of our expectations for them. They will receive a clinical teacher badge at this time. If they begin their clinical teaching before the orientation date, they will need to have their driver's license to receive a visitor's badge at the front office. Please contact Micah Pohlmeier at (972) 429-3063 or Micah.Pohlmeier@wylieisd.net if you have any questions.

Classroom Observers are individuals looking to observe in our classrooms to meet state or university requirements before teacher certification. Wylie ISD does allow individuals to observe in our classrooms, provided the observer wears a mask while observing. Observers will work directly with the assigned classroom teachers to arrange dates and times to observe. The available dates for observation are as follows:

• Fall semester observation requests need to be submitted between August 10 - November 13, 2023.
• Spring semester observation requests need to be submitted between January 9 - April 2, 2024.

*You will receive the classroom teacher assignment via email. Do not contact a teacher or campus principal without an email confirmation from Human Resources. Wylie ISD does not offer classroom observations during the summer.

Observation Request Process

• Complete an Instructional Observation Request Form
• Complete an Online Background Check for the district.
• You will receive an email from HR with your campus and teacher observation information.

Please contact Ashley Hopson at Ashley.Hopson@wylieisd.net if you have any questions regarding classroom observations.
