The School District of Springfield Township in Montgomery County, PA borders Philadelphia and is incredibly accessible to surrounding areas by just a short drive. A cornerstone of our district is providing the best free and public education to the students in Springfield Township. However, we understand that to do this effectively we need to value and respect the employees who are completing this work. We continually work to provide an inclusive environment for all students and staff.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

Thank you for your interest in completing your observation and/or student teaching within the School District of Springfield Township. We are located in Montgomery County. Please apply with all necessary information at least 2 weeks prior to seeking a placement in our district. We are a small school district and may not be able to accommodate all requests for placement in all areas. If you have questions, please email damian_johnston@sdst.org (Dr. Johnston is the Assistant Superintendent).

All student teacher and classroom observation experiences required by a college program must be approved by the Assistant Superintendent. Please provide at least two weeks notice for all requests to be reviewed.
We strongly encourage recent graduates of STHS to find placements outside of our high school. Parents or guardians of current SDST students can not complete student teaching or classroom observations in district schools.
In order to maintain a clear process and limit communication errors, please do not directly contact building principals or classroom teachers.
The required documents must be received prior to approval for student teaching or classroom observations and attached/uploaded into this form in order to have your request reviewed and routed for approval. Upon review, you will receive communications about whether or not the district is able to host your observation and/or student teaching placement.
