    Description
    Designed for employed teacher candidates seeking certification. Teacher candidates must be employed in an approved school site in their area of certification. The teacher candidate shall be supervised in all residency experiences by a team comprised of the residency school site principal or designee, and program faculty member. As an internship resident, candidates complete the residency as a teacher of record. Candidates receive content pedagogy support within their placement and through teacher preparation program professional development seminars. Interns will enroll for two consecutive semesters and credit given each semester. A minimum of 600 work hours is required.  The teacher candidate is an active participant in the P-12 school community. Concepts and skills learned in EDUC 681 (Residency Performance Portfolio) and EDUC 654 (Problems in Measurement and Evaluation) are a particular focus in this residency; however, the resident engages in all appropriate content areas.
