Student teaching placements in Scotland are limited and can vary greatly in terms of being rural/urban, culturally homogeneous/multi-ethnic, and of high/ low socioeconomic levels. Most often, placements are made in the area served by the Falkirk Regional Council. Students typically live in homestay accommodations.

Students may teach a variety of subjects and grade levels. In most cases, they will teach in their own licensing area (e.g., elementary education, secondary math, etc.). Further, it may be possible to fulfill practicum requirements in Scotland for the following license additions: ESL/ENL, Reading, JH/MS, Computers, and possibly others.
Placements in Scotland are limited. Students considering Scotland should have a strong “second choice” host nation.
