Year-long Internship

Overview

The year-long internship provides candidates an opportunity to experience multiple facets of professional teaching through two structures:

1. Following a school district calendar starting at the beginning of the K-12 academic year (this means candidates start when teacher workdays are scheduled in August and follow the district calendar through late April); 
2. Remaining in one placement/school for both semesters (some K-12 content areas must change grade levels thus have a different placement for Internship II).

Handbook

Information for university supervisors, mentor teachers, and teacher candidates is available in the Year-long Internship Handbook (under "Handbooks and Guides" at /ceshs/rex/field-office-internship-and-field-experience.aspx).

Assessments

Internship I and Internship II evaluations are key assessments. These are updated annually and posted at /ceshs/rex/field-office-internship-and-field-experience.aspx under "Midterm and Final Evaluations." Lesson plan templates for each program area are also posted at this link.
