- There is a fieldwork requirement for three of the SLTP courses. This is different from the practicum. SLTP students are required to complete 75 clock hours of fieldwork. It is recommended that these be distributed in 25-hour blocks in each of the following three courses:
- At the discretion of the program director, other courses or experiences can be substituted for part of this requirement. Prior to beginning a fieldwork project for a class, students should discuss project ideas with their professor.
- Fieldwork projects must be completed in a public school library in Massachusetts.
