Core IV Student Teaching/Internship Experience

Core IV Student Teaching/Internship experience is a full-time, supervised experience to be completed in a continuous sequence of weeks for a designated time period.  During this period, certified and experienced professionals supervise candidates. The Core IV experience requires a total commitment on the part of each student. Normally no other courses should be taken, and students are discouraged from holding part-time, evening, and weekend jobs.
