All
education majors are required to enroll in ED 450. ED 450 is student internship
which is the most intensive and extensive practicum required for all early childhood/elementary
and secondary majors. The student-internship program provides the student opportunities
to interpret and synthesize theory through a variety of realistic, planned experiences
in the school and community. It is an opportunity for the student to assume increasing
responsibility for guiding the experiences of a group of learners for a period
of twelve weeks, or the number of weeks determined by the State Department of
Education on a full-time basis in a cooperative school. Student Internship is
only offered during the Fall and Spring semesters.
