Project Concert
Project Concert is the software system that is used by United States University to record the 600 hours of clinical experience obtained during student teaching and is where we house the student teacher evaluations. We also store all the documentation from the students that are needed for the teaching credential (see list of documents here) in Project Concert. When you start your student teaching, you should receive an email that gives you login information, as well as instructions on how to record your hours.
Each week, student teachers will go into Project Concert at https://secure.projectnurse.com/ and record their hours. We recommend student teachers do this at the end of the day on Friday. Generally speaking, student teachers should be working 40 hours per week for the full 16 weeks, which would allow them to reach the 600-hour goal. When a student teacher logs in to Project Concert, they need to navigate to the “Hours” section on the left-hand side of the screen. Then, they select “new” and select the dates for the week they are reporting their hours from, select their University Supervisor and Cooperating Teacher, and then input the hours and a short blurb on what they did for the week. Once the student teacher submits the hours, the hours go to the University Supervisor’s Project Concert page for approvals. The student teacher’s hours are not recorded until the University Supervisor approves them. Student teacher hours and document audits are performed regularly by the COE Office of Field Experience so you will always be kept abreast of where you stand in regard to meeting the requirements for your teaching credential.
