All education courses need to be completed for student teaching. A full school day, semester-long Internship is divided equally between the elementary and secondary levels and done under the supervision of experienced, well qualified teachers. Weekly seminars provide a continuing support system for student teachers by establishing a congenial forum of peers and College supervisors for the sharing of readings, problems and experiences. Students are required to access the Internet Criminal History Access Tool (ICHAT) through the Michigan State Police website and submit the report to the Education Department. Students are responsible for the $10 ICHAT fee (but can be reimbursed by the Shurmur Center). Students must also complete an Albion College criminal history check form and a Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) consent to release form.
Offered on a credit/no credit basis. Staff.
