Professionally worthwhile internships • Immerse the Intern in the full range of teachers’ work • Promote reflective practice • Provide the opportunity for the Intern to work autonomously as a professional teacher and assume responsibility for planning and learning. • Are collaborative partnerships based on mutual trust and respect

  5. Internship Principles • Mutually beneficial to all participants • Interns are part of the school staff • Internship is developmental and flexible • Collegial environment • Realistic work environment • Positive working relationship between Intern and whole school community

  6. Eligibility for Internship • Current Blue card- if your blue card expires during the Internship and has not been renewed, you cannot return to the school until it is renewed • Satisfactory completion of all required University courses (apart from Professional Skills in a Contemporary World) - if a result for a 2008 Term 1 course is a Fail or Incomplete you will be withdrawn from the Internship.

  7. Internship ‘Authorization to Teach’ • Internship Authorization is applied for by CQU on behalf of the BLM student. • Has legal requirements and conditions • Authorization allows the Intern to teach within the context of the Internship only (it is NOT provisional registration). • Has a start and finish date that is registered with the QCT- CQU must be notified of any change to those dates.

  8. Preparing for the Internship • Make arrangements for your work commitments • Teaching day is generally 8am (latest) to 4pm (earliest)- ensure you have made appropriate arrangements to allow you to meet this commitment • Begin preparation for teaching early- gather resources together to sustain you through the 10 weeks

  9. During the Internship • Ensure ‘Blue card’ for ‘Working with children’ remains current. • Set aside a time to meet any ‘Contemporary Skills in a Contemporary World’ requirements • Maintain contact with uni through email.

  10. Most importantly • Email your University Teaching Schools/Industry Site Coordinator if absent or ill during PTE 4 - this day will need to be made up and your Authorization commence day adjusted with the QCT. • Email -if you have any adverse situations in your personal life that will impact on your ability to complete the Internship • Contact immediately- if you are involved in any potentially legal issue in the school

  11. Assessment -Internship • Internship Progress report- completed by Intern using 4 BLM domains as organizers • Respond to two aspects for each domain • 1.
