Internship II: Infancy

Catalog description

Students spend 15 hours a week in a yearlong (nine-month) internship designed to meet their specific professional needs. Internships typically take place in a setting for children and families but may also include working with adults (e.g., college teaching or staff training) or special advocacy, research, or demonstration projects. The accompanying biweekly tutorial brings a student together with his or her faculty adviser to integrate theory and practice, acquire self-knowledge, reflect on practice, develop appropriate approaches to working with or on behalf of children and families, and encourage professional development and identity. Please note: Students pursuing a specialization may have separate internship and tutorial sections.
