Appendix DCollection of Demographic Data for Clinical and Field Experiences

To ensure that NSU candidates experience working with P-12 students from diversebackgrounds (eg ethnicity race socioeconomic status gender exceptionalities languages religionsexual orientation etc) programs must systematically track information on placements in clinical and fieldexperiences NSU candidates who are already employed in schools can complete field experiences intheir own schools as long as the P-12 students in the classroom represent diverse populationsmdashand theinstructor allows this

To document the diversity in your field placement school you need to collect the demographicinformation that is available through the National Center for Educational Statistics To locate thisinformation

Appendix DCollection of Demographic Data for Clinical and Field Experiences

To ensure that NSU candidates experience working with P-12 students from diversebackgrounds (eg ethnicity race socioeconomic status gender exceptionalities languages religionsexual orientation etc) programs must systematically track information on placements in clinical and fieldexperiences NSU candidates who are already employed in schools can complete field experiences intheir own schools as long as the P-12 students in the classroom represent diverse populationsmdashand theinstructor allows this

To document the diversity in your field placement school you need to collect the demographicinformation that is available through the National Center for Educational Statistics To locate thisinformation

1 Go to the National Center for Educational Statistics at httpncesedgovgloballocator2 Type in the information for your school In this example we will look for information on Davie
