Distance Placement Options

Interested in Winter 2025 Distant Placements? Great!

Please check back in late spring 2024 for an updated list of potential ISA organized distant placements. In the meantime, see below for those offered in Winter 2024.

ISA has opportunities available to FE4 students’ teachers, subject to availability and approval. Funding for accommodation and/or travel MAY be available; however, student teachers will need to organize and arrange these independently. The ISA only coordinates the placement for these opportunities and will connect you to our partners so you can arrange the rest.
