Field Observation
About the Observations
Please note these observations are not paid and are normally required to finish certification or a degree.
Application Process
To initiate the background/criminal history check process, complete and submit a Field Experience application in our Career Portal at www.splendoraisd.org. Upload required documents, including your ID, course syllabus, and verification of current enrollment in a class requiring completion of classroom observations. The documentation must contain your name, a school contact name, phone number, and email.
Clearance and Scheduling
Once your application has been reviewed and you have been cleared to schedule Field Observations, HR will send you an email granting you permission to do observations and schedule them for you.
Communication

Please provide information on the number, length, and timeframe of the observations or field experience being requested.
