Graduate Internships

The College of Education teacher preparation capstone experience is full-time semester long student teaching. At this juncture, students have determined that they want to engage in the teaching profession. Internship II / Graduate Internship provides a structured, supervised process in which interns work with supervising teachers to develop their teaching skills. In this experience, students gain extensive practice in teaching skills and in the knowledge, skills, and dispositions methods of their teaching fields.

Interns are placed in schools and assume the work schedule of a full-time teacher, all day, five days a week, for a full semester. Interns practice to develop knowledge, skills, and dispositions of the teaching profession as measured by the Florida Educator Accomplished Practices.

College of Education faculty (i.e., university coordinators) supervise all internships and collaborate with supervising teachers to guide the intern in developing knowledge, skills, and dispositions, and evaluate teaching practice according to indicators of the Florida Educator Accomplished Practices that relate to pre-service practice.

Please refer to the Office of Clinical Experiences website to reference the Student Teaching Handbook for more detailed information.
