1. Check earliest date to observe on the whiteboard—you cannot observe before that date.
   
   
2. Check the date and time you are available against the school schedules located on the tables.
   
   
3. Complete the appropriate form for Muncie/County (one form per observation) after you determine when you will observe.
   
   
4. Assume that your request is approved unless the Office of Teacher Education Services (OTES) contacts you via e-mail. You will be contacted only if your request is denied or cancelled.

Completing your scheduled observation:

1. Pick up your pink copy of your request in OTES (your ticket into the school).  You can pick it up the day before or the day you are scheduled to observe. Failure to pick up your pink copy will negate your observation and require you to complete another observation.
   
   
2. While you are in the school, you must wear a lanyard with a picture ID in it at all times.
   
   
3. Report directly to the school office. The office will direct you to the appropriate place.
   
   
4. Dress business casual. If you are dressed inappropriately, the school has the right to refuse to let you observe.
   
   
5. DO NOT BE LATE!!!
   
   
6. Contact OTES if you cannot keep your appointment, and we will contact the school. Too many missed appointments can result in the school denying all requests.
   
   
7. It is the student's responsibility to know if there are delays or school closings due to weather. Announcements are made on the radio, television, and on the Web.
   
   
8. Once you have completed your observation, have the classroom teacher sign the pink copy of your request and return it to OTES. We will notify your instructor of its completion in a timely fashion.
