Educational Leadership Internship

Catalog description

The Internship in Educational Leadership provides continued practical experience in the student's major field, under close supervision and direction of local school district personnel and doctoral faculty members. The internship is defined as the process and product that result from the application in a workplace environment of the strategic, instructional, organizational, and contextual leadership program standards associated with the EdD program at Aurora University. The outcome should be a powerful synthesis of knowledge and skills useful to practicing school leaders. Each internship is unique to the needs of that particular doctoral candidate and comes at, or near, the end of the formal program of studies. It is understood that effort expending during the internship must be comparable to formal coursework. This effort translates into approximately 60-65 clock hours devoted to the internship for three semester hours of credit. Open to EdD students only.
