The Alliance's initial activities have focused on improving reading and mathematics achievement. The internship provides the opportunity, through board meetings, working group meetings and other activities, to meet and work with leaders of the national education associations that are members of the Alliance. Specific activities will involve some administrative work organizing and following up on Alliance meetings. In addition, the intern may work on a substantive research project related to elementary and secondary education. The focus will depend on the interests of the intern and the needs of the Learning First Alliance members.
Interns are welcome during the school semester and in the summer.
