This section includes information about the Instructional Leadership: Coaching and Mentoring internship (EDU 8163). For information about the superintendent internship and certification, see the section above.
EDU 8163 is scheduled for May 8-August 26, 2023. The course activities are structured in an 4-8-4 week format, with the first 4 weeks for setting up the internship project, the next 8 weeks for implementation of the project, and the final 4 weeks for reflection and assessment of the project.
Students may complete their internship at their current work site. Students should think carefully about the parameters of the project they want to engage with and the most suitable candidate to serve as the internship site supervisor. The course instructor will oversee the internship activities and meetings. Students can expect to check in with their instructor via Zoom during the course to monitor progress. More detailed information and materials will be located on the EDU 8163 course shell, which opens May 8, 2023.
