Some students have asked if previous teaching experience will meet this requirement. No,the apprenticeship is designed to be more than a teaching experience but also provide an opportunity to work with the supervising faculty to apply instructional development to the course. Faculty will not only have you do some teaching, but will involve you in course development projects.
Credit is optional.
In other words, you may take three credits of Ins. Whether you take it for credit or not, you will be evaluated by your supervising instructor. The rigor and assignments are the same whether taken for credit or non-credit. This experience will be a valuable addition to your resume in that many employers look for evidence of teaching experience and practical applications of your instructional development skills. Advanced approval is required to insure that too many students are not doing their apprenticeship in the same course.
