ART 7744 Advanced Internship in Art

A candidate must complete an application for internship prior to registering for ART 7744 and provide a copy of his/her yearlong teaching contract to the department chair. The internship extends throughout one academic year (two semesters). It is preferable that candidates begin an internship in the fall semester and complete it the following spring semester. The internship experience is based in a public or approved private school. Internship placements may take place only within a 50-mile radius of the campus unless otherwise approved by the Dean of the School of Education.

Student Learning Outcomes

SCHOOL OF EDUCATION OUTCOMES (See School of Education Syllabus A – IV)

Upon the completion of this course, students will be able to demonstrate the following outcome-based learning skills:

1. Set and evaluate goals during each semester of the Advanced Internship. These goals should be based on the Teacher Keys Effectiveness System (TKES) - Teacher Assessment on Performance Standards (TAPS).
2. Submit to the college supervisor, for review, goals enhancing his or her professional development.
3. Monitor his or her progress toward reaching the goals throughout the semester as needed.
4. Create and submit a plan of improvement for goals not met and/or develop new goals for the next semester.
5. Periodically meet with his or her college supervisor to discuss progress towards the completion of the goals.
6. Be encouraged to engage in reflection through weekly journals. Reflection will occur weekly via an e-mail journal entry to the college supervisor. This entry should include reflections concerning successes, problems, classroom management issues, teaching strategies, and activities in which the Advanced Intern participated. The depth of the reflections should move beyond “describing”, and include a discussion of insights, action(s) taken, and connection with research on best practices. The Advanced Intern is encouraged to reflect upon his or her progress toward achieving the core candidate learning outcomes.
