May. All twelve district schools participate with nearly 100 teachers mentoring the interns throughout the phases of the program.
Interns have opportunities to experience multiage, bilingual, integrated and traditional classrooms.
Interns are expected to work as a professional member of the school staff and participate in extracurricular activities and professional events sponsored by the district. University methods courses are developed and taught by ISU faculty and district personnel with an emphasis on essential methods of instructional delivery and assessment. Interns are given immediate opportunities to implement strategies acquired in college courses directly into their assigned classrooms. Our teacher candidates are prepared to meet future challenges of the teaching profession through this innovative year long program.
