EDU 6815 - Internship and Mediated Achievement Plan Map (2 Credits per Semester)

8 cr

(2 credits each fall and spring semesters, 8 credits total) The Woodruff Internship is the laboratory in which aspiring principals and special education directors will be able to develop into leaders with support from school personnel, college supervisors, theoretical readings, and their cohort. Students have the opportunity to work with their school-based mentor (principal or special education director) for a minimum of 20 hours each semester focusing on role responsibilities and management. Additionally, aspiring leaders will create a Mediated Achievement Plan (MAP) focusing on one aspect of school improvement and linked to student achievement. This MAP will require 80 hours a semester and will reconcile theory and practice, requiring students to continually reflect and revise their implementation plans. This MAP is an opportunity to practice creating, managing and sustaining change. This course incorporates a total of a 100-hour practicum each fall and spring semester.
Prerequisite: enrollment in the Woodruff Institute and successful completion of previous cohort courses.
