Many former interns have remained in the field and even secured permanent jobs at the places where they interned. Students majoring in history and the social sciences work in one or two middle or high school classrooms assisting with the teaching of history and social studies. The purpose of the course is to introduce the SFSU student to the world of public schools. Field participation provides direct experience of this world. Observation in the field stimulates reflection on how this world is experienced by students and by teachers.
Attention is paid to currect efforts at reform in public education.
