The internship experience is intended to provide candidates with a minimum of 500 hours of significant field experiences and clinical internship practices for school building leadership candidates within a school environment to synthesize and apply current knowledge and develop the professional skills specified in the Education Leadership Constituent Council (ELCC) standards. The internship provides an opportunity for candidates to discover their own strengths, talents, leadership styles, needs, and interests. This training enables candidates (under the auspices of an experienced supervisor and college instructor) to apply supervisory and administrative skills to pragmatic school situations and experience the ongoing responsibilities of a practicing, effective school leader.

The internship is completed in two semesters, EDSA 590 (Internship I and EDSA 591 - School Building Internship II ). Candidates for leadership are expected to fulfill a minimum of 250 hours in each semester, for a total of 500 hours. Must be taken during different semesters (fall, spring or summer).
