To access the application for a new academic year (once it is available), follow steps 1 & 2, and a webpage will load with the DRF for last term's application. At the bottom of the screen, click on the button that reads ENTER CODE. You will enter the code OPFE, and follow steps 5-11.

When clicking the Taskstream Field Experiences link in step 2, a webpage will load, and there will be a box that reads DRF with a link that reads (INSERT Current Year) Dayton Application for Teacher Candidate Field Experience. You will click on this link, and then continue to follow steps 8-11.

If after completing this application, you decide to postpone the placement or drop from the program, you must inform the Office of Partnerships and Field Experiences via e-mail of your change in plans at cheh-opfe@wright.edu.
Schools hosting our teacher candidates require that they have current BCI and FBI background check reports prior to beginning the placement and continuing throughout the placement. This is mandated by the State of Ohio for the safety of students in the PK-12 schools. OPFE recommends completing these background checks about 6-7 weeks before the start of the placement term. Completed background checks are not required to apply for a field placement; they are needed to participate in the field placement.

Please have your background checks sent to:
Wright State University, CHEH, Attn: OPFE
378 Allyn Hall
3640 Colonel Glenn Highway
Dayton, OH 45435
Notifications about attending an orientation will be sent to candidates through Wright State email. Candidates should be sure to check their email accounts on a regular basis and RSVP to the appropriate session. These are always held during finals week.
