INTERNSHIP PROGRAM An Internship Program may be taken instead of student teaching in elementary or secondary education. The basic philosophy of the Elementary- Teaching Intern Program (E-TIP) and Secondary-Teacher Intern Program (S-TIP) is to provide interns with sound and effective supervisory assistance throughout their first year of teaching, to further increase the depth and breadth of their experience with pupils and the school curriculum, to offer more support in coping with the problems faced by the first year teacher, and to make for deeper insight into the attitudes and activities required of a professional teacher. Students interested in becoming candidates for the intern program must obtain application forms from the student teaching office and submit them during the first week in January preceding the year of internship. Interns will be contractual employees of a local school district and will be compensated by the district. 216 Further details of the program are available through the department chairperson.
