EA 574 - Internship - Administration Leadership

The administrative internship course is designed to prepare students for assuming the role of a school administrator through completion of practical field-based experiences and joint supervision of a school administrator and a member of the MEC faculty. School administrative internships are the bridge between classroom teachers and first-time leadership positions. Research shows that quality internships are equally as important as the graduate programs themselves in establishing leadership practices that improve teaching, learning, and school conditions. This, course serves as a guide and support for creating and managing quality school leader internship programs.The administrative internship is structured to enable each student to develop and put into practice an individualized field-based experience that focuses primarily on either elementary principal, secondary principal, superintendent, or director of special education preparation. The Internship in Principal/Assistant Principal consists of 500 clock hours of leadership in a variety of settings with a diversity of students.
