The primary responsibility of the Office of Field Services (OFS) is to facilitate educative field experiences for students in the College of Education and Human Services by serving as the bridge between CSU students, faculty, instructors, supervisors, and staff on one hand--and school districts, buildings, district and building administration, and mentor teachers, on the other. The College works with a "partnership" model, through which it serves both pre-service teachers and area districts' students and teachers, by providing quality field experiences for future teachers in the classrooms of experienced mentor teachers.

Our mission is to match our students with outstanding mentor teachers in Cuyahoga County Schools who will aid them in their development into highly skilled, effective, hardworking, reflective, and responsive educators.
