Internship and Reflective Practice

Catalog description

During this 9-week, full-day internship at a Durham Public High School, students will work with an experienced mentor teacher to build a classroom community, foster relationships with students, and plan and implement effective instruction. In addition to teaching in their mentor's classroom, students will participate in all aspects of a teacher's day, from hall duty to lunch duty to communication with parents. Students will engage in consistent reflection on their teaching practice, guided by their mentors and university supervisors.
