EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION: INTERNSHIP GRADES 11 – 12
Upon successfully completing Early Childhood Education Part 1 with a C‐ or better, and teacher recommendation concerning various other personal qualities that would be beneficial to your activity at The Friendship School, you will be eligible to take Early Childhood Education Internship. During this second semester of the year you will be spending two days a week with a cooperating teacher in their classroom practicing the observation skills learned during the first semester and working hands on with the students in the class. The class will meet bi‐monthly for seminar sessions in our classroom at Waterford High School. We will then focus our seminar classes on how to complete bulletin boards, plan lessons and transition activities that are developmentally appropriate, how to teach a class at the Pre‐K or Kindergarten level, how to read to a large group of children, either with a felt board story or one that is more appropriate for the class. We will discuss classroom management strategies and compare what your reactions are to what you see at The Friendship School. Seminar will also be used to discuss how to go about applying for jobs in the education field, procuring recommendations, beginning a portfolio of ideas and plans for future use. We will include job searching, interviewing, and how to make yourself standout as the right candidate for a position you are interested in having in a school district.
