SOE: Graduate and Lesley Center for the Adult Learner (LCAL) Field Placement and Professional Partnerships

Welcome to the Division of Field Placement and Professional Partnerships at the Lesley University School of Education! Our goal is to nurture and support the professional and personal growth of Lesley students by providing the critical link from theory to practice in the field. Our office assists students in identifying and securing early field experiences and practicum placements in many urban and suburban schools. In these settings, our students learn the art and craft of teaching under the guidance of expert supervising practitioners and Lesley program supervisors. We partner with area schools to create communities of learners where everyone benefits, and we run the Summer Compass program with the Cambridge Public Schools for the benefit of local schoolchildren and Lesley student teachers. Working together with schools in Cambridge, Newton, and Boston, we also offer exciting paid year-long internship opportunities. We look forward to assisting you and hope that your work with us will be productive, exciting, and enjoyable!

With warm regards,
Division of Field Placement and Professional Partnerships
