EDUC 4499 Internship III

For approximately 15 weeks, teacher candidates apply the principles, knowledge, understanding, and skills they have 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 college supervisor and a qualified classroom teacher. This experience culminates in the teacher candidate's assumption of a full teaching load for a number of weeks (determined with college supervisor and host teacher) and completes responsibility for all class activities normally carried out by the host teacher. However, a co-teaching model may also be used during internship III. Piedmont University offers training for schools interested in implementing this model which consists of co-planning, co-instruction, and co-assessment and culminates with the teacher candidate's assumption of the lead teacher role for several weeks.

During the time spent in the internship, the college supervisor will observe the teacher candidate on a regular basis (at least 3 times).
