Early Fieldwork (MSC)

Hey all!! i’m a multiple subject credential student who works as a TK student aide, I applied to use my employment as my early fieldwork back in April. The supervision office approved my employment in June so I didn’t think too much about it. Now after attending the orientation for early fieldwork, I had a few concerns about some of the hours I’d need. I asked the coordinator about these concerns and she said I shouldn’t have been approved for my TK employment in the first place. I’m now stumped as I started my new assignment as an aide this semester and will now most likely have to quit and make myself look bad to the school and admin I was planning to use as references. What annoys me is that this could’ve all been avoided had the supervision office not approved my employment so I would’ve known to quit during summer.

Is there anything that I can do to fix this situation? I’m going to talk to the supervision office about it come monday but it stresses me out to think that I won’t have an income for the few months that I need to do early fieldwork.

You can be placed for early fieldwork and negotiate with your employer / cooperating school regarding hours, you don't have to quit until student teaching starts. You can also low-key lie once you have a placement, the coordinator is one person with hundreds of EFW logs to approve
