What Interns May Expect:
Since the aim of the Excelsior! program is to provide students with a complete practical experience of the teaching profession, students may expect an introductory tour of our campus and all our classrooms and administrative offices. Interns will receive an overview of our integrated classical curriculum and be provided opportunities to observe the lesson delivery and classroom management techniques of a seasoned faculty. Interns will observe lesson planning, preparation, delivery; they will also have the opportunity to prepare, deliver and support their own lessons under the supervision of a faculty mentor. Interns will have frequent opportunities, both formal and informal, to interact with faculty, raise questions, share observations, and network with teaching professionals. -
