In efforts to more efficiently assess and manage the student teaching experience (internship) of students, a pilot program was undertaken to implement the LiveText Field Experience Management (FEM) tool. This paper relates the efforts of stakeholders (mentor teachers, university supervisors, school district administrative personnel, teacher education faculty) to implement the FEM tool into the internship at The University of Alabama. Outlined in the paper are the efforts of the pilot team as they implemented the FEM tool over the course of 18 months. This article identifies the challenges the pilot team faced and how those challenges were addressed. The article concludes with suggestions offered by the pilot team for others who may consider adopting a similar system.
