Each intern does a substantial amount of teaching and tutoring in cooperation with the master teacher to whom he or she is assigned. The pairing of interns and faculty is done early enough so that they can communicate and plan before the program begins. A four-day orientation, beginning June 18, prepares interns for their responsibilities in and out of the classroom. Four afternoons a week interns oversee and instruct students in various sports and activities. Interns' responsibilities include house supervision and library supervision on a regular basis.
Interns also assist with the college advising program.
Education courses are not a prerequisite. Applicants should demonstrate a genuine interest in a community of learners, a willingness to work hard, and a solid academic record. Selection of ASP interns is usually completed by the middle of April.
