EDU 640 - Professional Internship in English as a Second Language

This internship is a full-time supervised student teaching experience in which interns will apply knowledge and skills to the practice of teaching ESL and culturally and linguistically diverse students. An intern completes a public school classroom placement working cooperatively with a mentor teacher and a university supervisor in addressing Maine’s Initial Teacher Certification Standards (InTASC and NETS-T) and TESOL Standards. The culminating event is a lead teaching experience during which the intern has primary responsibility for guiding the instructional program. An intern may pursue the internship part-time over two semesters if the hours are equivalent to a 15-week, full-time student teaching experience. The course is pass/fail, and students must pass 3 credits of internship to complete the program and be recommended for initial K-12 ESL certification.
