Student-Teacher Agreements

What is a "Student-Teacher Agreement"? 

A Student-Teacher Agreement ("STA") is a contract between the District and a college or university in which selected students at those institutions receive hands-on teaching, learning, and practical classroom experience with a District teacher.  This experience typically provides the in-class direct teaching and learning skills required to complete the student's degree. 

The District does not contract directly with students at these institutions.
