Internship as an Alternative to Student Teaching.
Richards, Don
An internship program involving university students placed in public school classrooms for a full year was initiated through the cooperative efforts of Wright State University and the Yellow Springs, Ohio school district, an innovative district which embraces the concept of individually guided education and which utilizes team teaching at all levels. The interns were considered full members of the teams on which they served and increasingly became identified as regular teachers as they were phased into more complex tasks and greater teaching responsibilities. This document describes the internship program and summarizes the interns' assessment of program strengths and weaknesses. Also summarized are the results of an evaluation by staff members who had had some working relationship with the interns. Recommendations are made for changes in the internship program based on these evaluations. (DDO)
