Internship Programs
Elementary and Bilingual
Education
The
Department of Elementary and Bilingual Education
offers two program options for students wishing
to complete their credential requirements while
currently teaching in a multiple subject, public
school classroom. Option
A is a three-semester program that begins during
the spring semester only. The first semester is full
time and the last two semesters include evening classes
only. The program enables candidates to complete
the final two semesters of their professional preparation
while teaching full-time in a participating school
district. Option B is designed for students
currently enrolled in our traditional three-semester
program (which differs from Option A). As a candidate
in this program, you will only take classes in the
evenings. At the start of any semester of the
program, you are eligible to become an intern. To
become an Option B Intern you must 1) receive approval
from your Block Leader and 2) receive a job offer
from one of our approved districts.
Secondary Education
The
Professional Track/Intern Program in the Single
Subject Credential at California State University,
Fullerton is designed for students who wish to
complete credential requirements while currently
teaching in their credential preparation subject
area/s in the public schools. Students are admitted into
the program following approval of the subject area
advisor according to the application process for
the Single Subject Credential Program. Information
may be obtained by attending a Single Subject Credential
Program Overview or downloading application materials
from the Secondary Education web site. Students may
participate in this professional track as they enter
the program or they may switch into this track upon
accepting a contracted internship teaching assignment
in their content area during the first three weeks
of the first semester of the program or at the beginning
of their second semester in the program. It
is the responsibility of the candidate to obtain
an intern teaching position in their area of subject
matter competence. Internships may be arranged
with any Orange County school district that completes
an internship agreement.
Special Education
The intern program at CSUF is a rigorous two-year
training commitment resulting in a clear education
specialist credential, with the option of a Masters
with two additional courses.
The Intern Program is designed
for persons who are already working or about to
be working in the field as educators at a public
school. Often, when persons in our credential programs
receive a job offer from a School District they
choose to become an intern.Others
enroll as Interns when they have been placed in an
environment where they already work with children
in a Special Education setting.
