EDLD 6793 - Principal Internship I

This course is the first of two courses devoted to providing students with a significant and sustained 240 hour internship in building level leadership within a K-12 school environment. The internship is jointly supervised by the WMU-EDLD faculty instructor of record and an on-site supervisor from the district hosting the intern. The purpose of the internship is to provide students opportunities to apply the theories, concepts, and practices studied through the course of the K-12 Education Leadership MA program in an actual school setting. The internship may be adapted to accommodate working students, but students must log the completion of 240 hours of site-based internship experience over the combination of the EDLD 6793 and EDLD 6794 courses.

Note: This course is to be taken near the end of the MA in Educational Leadership: K-12 Principal concentration program, with the goal of completing all other required courses except EDLD 6794 (Principal Internship I). Students are encouraged to take EDLD 6670 (The Principalship) during the same semester or immediately preceding this course.
