Template Description

This is an optional collection for all LEAs that are requesting student teachers.

The District Fact Template is used to meet the requirements of section1206-B(a)(1) of the School Code and provides information that supports the Student Teacher Support Grant Program administered by the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA). Student teachers may receive an additional $5,000 if they work in an LEA that is identified as struggling to attract student teachers or that has a high rate of open teaching positions.

The District Fact for Student Teachers will allow LEAs interested in hosting student teachers to submit annual counts that represent:

1. The number of student teachers received for the current year,
2. The shortage of student teachers for the current year, (i.e. total requested minus number received), and
3. The number of student teachers requested for the upcoming year.

Information is captured in an Excel file, automatically creating the District Fact Template to be submitted to PIMS. The Student Teacher Form and directions on how to complete this form are located on the PDE website under Data and Reporting/PIMS/Excel Reporting Tools/Student Teacher. After reading the directions, proceed as follows:

1. Open the Excel file "Student Teacher"

   5. Enter the count of student teachers that your LEA is requesting for the upcoming school year (REQUEST). If none to report, enter 0.
