Special Education Practicum Request Form
In order to receive your practicum placement, you will need to submit a request form. Please submit the form by either emailing it as an attachment to Loren Petty at pettyl@evergreen.edu or dropping it off at his office in Sem 2 E3131. In addition, with your first request, you must submit the Oath of Confidentiality form and a receipt for your background check and fingerprinting. For subsequent requests, you only need to submit a new practicum placement request form. All requests must be received by the deadline listed below.
We process requests for specific school districts in our region - if you would like a placement in a district other than North Thurston, Olympia, Shelton, Tumwater or Yelm, you will need to provide us with a contact person for the district you are seeking placement in. If you would like a placement outside of the districts listed above, you will need to call Loren Petty at 360-867-6573.
