TEACHING INTERNSHIP AT PHILLIPS EXETER ACADEMY SUMMER SCHOOL Internship Description: Each year the Phillips Exeter Academy Summer School invites a number of outstanding college juniors, seniors, and graduate students, who have expressed an interest in teaching as a career, to intern with Summer School faculty and to be immersed in residential school life. The Summer School welcomes to campus more than 780 students for five weeks of academic study, athletics, and exploration that carry participants far beyond the classrooms and the playing fields. Our ACCESS EXETER and UPPER SCHOOL students have completed grades 7-12 and come to us from more than forty states, Puerto Rico, Washington, D.C., and thirty foreign nations. Teaching interns work closely with experienced instructors. In addition to developing close working relationships with faculty mentors, interns participate in seminars on teaching and residential life. They attend their own class, a seminar on the art of teaching, and gather together for evening programs. The Teaching Intern Program is coordinated by a team of faculty members who help Interns explore the complexities of teaching in and beyond the classroom. While experienced instructors teach Summer School courses, Interns have opportunities for co-teaching and, by term's end, for teaching on their own. Interns live in dormitories under the supervision of veteran faculty members, and share in the responsibility of overseeing the residential program. Dormitory responsibilities include working with a small number of advisees, taking duty nights, and establishing an adult living presence in the residence halls. Interns involve themselves actively in the many facets of residential school life. The Director of Student Activities assigns Interns chaperoning responsibilities for evening social functions, and off-campus excursions.
