Clinical Experiences: Student Teaching and Internships

Education majors participate in early classroom experiences and have a variety of clinical opportunities in addition to student teaching. All students work in classrooms at diverse age levels as a part of their major. A year-long internship program for seniors is available. Student teacher placement is made by the Director of Clinical Experiences in Professional Education. NO STUDENT MAY ARRANGE HIS OR HER OWN STUDENT TEACHING PLACEMENT. All students participating in student teaching, in early clinical experiences, or in practice in school settings are required first to obtain professional liability insurance.

Internship Program

The Internship experience is an alternative teacher education program that involves an academic year placement in an elementary or secondary school. The internship is designed for seniors who have completed course work in their majors and minors or specialties, and who will graduate at the conclusion of the internship experience. A prescribed program of study must be followed by student participation in the internship program. For additional information, contact the Director of Clinical Experiences.
