ECSP 4407 - Internship Performance


The goal of student internship is to learn about the teaching profession while under the careful guidance of a mentor teacher. The majority of the time in the classroom is spent working directly with students in small groups, 1-on-1 instruction, whole class, etc. It is expected that lesson plans and materials are prepared ahead of time, and the intern is ready to teach at their assigned times. This is not the time to complete other assignments, meet with classmates to work on group projects, make copies (unless asked to do so by the teacher), or write lessons plans (unless you are planning with your mentor teacher), etc. Interns are to work with the mentor teacher to learn about the students in the class. They are to use anecdotal, informal, and formal data to analyze the needs of the students when developing lessons. Lessons are carefully planned to include effective instructional strategies, methods for meeting the needs of all students, and a thoughtful analysis of the lesson afterward. Performance in the classroom is evident when the intern is prepared, is knowledgeable of the content and pedagogy, provides feedback and assesses formally and informally throughout the instructional segment.
