EDLR 7500 - Superintendent Internship II

Institution:

Pennsylvania Western University

Subject:

Educational Admin & Leadership

Description:

The internship is designed to be a theory into practice experience where formal coursework is applied in a field setting. It provides significant opportunities in the workplace to synthesize and apply the knowledge and to practice and develop skills identified in the program competency areas. Internships with a trained mentor at diverse settings is an important and highly valued part of the program. Each placement will be made in cooperation with the SLE faculty, the participating school district mentor, and the intern. The internship involves field placement with a carefully chosen and trained superintendent/mentor (field supervisor) in a K-12 school district, who shares the SLE program philosophy that the superintendent should function as a change agent and facilitator of the reform process as well as a strong instructional leader. The intern is both a participant and observer under the direction of the superintendent who should provide the intern with as many supervisory and administrative experiences as possible. The intern gains valuable work-related experience and is given the opportunity to learn how academic knowledge and skills can be applied at the worksite with real people, problems and events.
