Welcome to the Office of Field Experiences, where we coordinate early field experiences and student teaching placements for all students in Purdue University's various Teacher Education Programs.  We work closely with our partners in school corporations throughout the state of Indiana to ensure successful and rewarding placements for each and every one of our students.  Our goal is to seek the best possible placement so that the experience becomes the capstone of each student's educational program.
