Teacher Certification Internships

In recent internships, students have designed nature trails on local conservation land with fourth graders; conducted poetry recitals with middle school children; taught students to make iMovies about regional geography; mapped cemeteries with children to deepen their understanding of local history; and coordinated a Wild Animals That Nobody Likes production to teach writing and celebrate Halloween.

Internships are available in a variety of public, independent elementary schools, nature centers, and early childhood learning centers:

Rural and Urban Schools
Community-Based Education
Nature Centers
Early Childhood Centers
