EDD 513-Elementary Internship in Learning Disabilities

 and EDD 515-Secondary Internship in Learning Disabilities

The internship program in learning disabilities is designed to meet the needs of working teachers.  Two internships are required.  The internships follow a sequence that begins with the first internship in public summer school programs.  A seminar course is taken concurrently with the first internship. 

The summer internships are completed in public school settings during the summer vacation months.

Some of the summer school programs start in June after the public school summer vacation begins.  Other programs do not begin until after July 4th.  Prospective interns must enroll in both the spring and summer sessions. 

The second practicum is completed in the intern's employment setting or in a setting that has been approved by the university.  This takes place during the following fall term or winter term.

The internship practicum in learning disabilities provides students with experience in the following:

-         administration of standardized assessment materials with one student selected by the on-site mentor teacher in collaboration with the university supervisor
