Graduate Catalog 2017-2018

SPED 7742 Internship II

The student must be fully admitted to Teacher Education and have permission of the Dean of Education to register. Application deadlines for student teaching will be posted in the School of Education and on the School of Education Student Bulletin Board. Internship II includes a 16-week experience, during which teacher candidates work full time under the joint supervision of a certified teacher and college supervisor in a collaborative classroom for students with disabilities. Periodic seminars are also required. This is a Pass or Fail course. 

Prior to Internship II, candidates will undergo a criminal background check as part of the pre-service certification process. Applications to student teaching may be denied based upon information presented in these background clearances. Before being hired by a Georgia public school system, another background check, including fingerprinting, will be conducted by the school system. 

Internship II placements are made at the discretion of the School of Education. Placements will be made within a 50-mile radius of the campus unless otherwise approved by the Dean of the School of Education.
