EDUC 7779 Internship I

For approximately 15 weeks, teacher candidates apply the principles, knowledge, understanding, and skills acquired during their entire educational program. The internship experience is performed in a carefully selected school reflecting the grade level at which certification is sought, under the direction of the University supervisor and a qualified classroom teacher. The teaching candidate will intern one full school day per week for 15 weeks (120 contact hours). During this internship, the candidate will observe the classroom teacher, including classroom management, instruction, assessment, and other school-assigned duties. Professional and advanced interns are required to complete all internship assignments and attend on-campus meetings as directed. All interns must be admitted to teacher education and hold a pre-service or provisional teaching certificate.
