3. Student Teach for 1 to 2 semesters. Teaching will be no more than 2 classes in the semester. The typical student teacher assignment is a 15-20 hour per week position.

 During this time, student teachers continue the training process and are assessed and evaluated throughout as they are considered for employment. Decisions about full-time employment are made by the administration of Seminaries and Institutes in Salt Lake City. Decisions about part-time employment are made by local S&I administrators and depend on current demand. There are always more student teachers than there are openings in any given year.
