Description of Assessment
It is the goal of the ED S program to educate and prepare aspiring school leaders for the principalship. The purpose of the internship is to have an opportunity to practice one’s learning, apply theories, and gain knowledge from experts in the field. The Internship in LEAD 6135 is a field based experience with a focus on diversity.
Diversity is a broad topic and students are exposed to experiences that will enhance their respect, appreciation, and understanding of people who are different in the hopes that when they are leaders, they will be able to lead a diverse group of students, parents, teachers and stakeholders. Candidates reflect on their experiences in their own setting as well as in a different setting to write a reflective paper detailing their learning and future goals for growth.
Directions to Students
The culminating experience for this internship is a reflective paper detailing your learning. You are expected to document your activities in the form of a time log along with journaling your insights and reflections of your experiences, findings and thinking as it applies to the topic of diversity and review of literature.
