Internship/Student Teaching

Students participating in the Post Baccalaureate Alternative Route to Certification may choose either student teaching (one semester – undergraduate hours - non-paid) or internship (one year – graduate hours – paid) as their culminating field experience.

Student Teaching

If the student chooses student teaching, the student should contact the Office of Field Experiences one semester before the student wishes to student teach. The student needs a post baccalaureate application for student teaching. The student enrolls in SED 496 and SED 497 (or EED 492) during the semester of student teaching. The Office of Field Experiences finds the placement for the student based on the completed post baccalaureate application for student teaching.

 

Internship

If the student chooses the internship, the student is responsible for finding their own teaching position. Our data indicates that, to be successful in the internship, the student may have completed the following courses before beginning the internship:

 

In order for school districts to employ the student for the internship, the student should pass the content exam (TExES) for their certification plan.

When the student has completed the 12 hours listed above and passed the content exam (TExES), the student should request an Internship Eligibility Form. This form must be completed by the employing school district before the student will be given departmental approval to register for the internship classes, CI 598 (Fall) and CI 599 (Spring). The internship is one full year of teaching as the teacher of record in an accredited school.
