I understand that I will complete my teaching practicum by independently recruiting and teaching clients and building my own teaching materials, while under the supervision of a preceptor. I understand I will learn how to develop a sustainable program; thus I am not able to work with an established Marquette Method organization during my preceptorship. This does not prevent the future student from accepting tuition assistance.
