Administrative Internship Handbook & Syllabus Overview

Introduction The Master of Education degree (M.Ed.) in Educational Leadership at Sierra Nevada College

(SNC) prepares educators to become administrators who are able to create and maintain effective

schools. The program requires interns to demonstrate competence through course work and

practical experiences and illustrate these competencies through an Executive Showcase

Presentation. In their graduate program, interns are exposed to a variety of instructional

methodologies including problem-based learning, case study methods, lecture/discussion,

cooperative learning, and practical experiences. As a culminating experience, each intern enrolls

in TLDR 605I entitled Internship in Administrative Leadership, for 6 credits, that is taken during

the final semester of the intern’s program. There is a TLDR 605I Course fee; please see current

SNC Catalog for applicable fee. Distance internship is defined as a student’s placement

school/facility as 50 miles or more from the local SNC campus. Any questions regarding billing

and/or fees please, contact the SNC business office, Student Accounts at the following email

address: [email protected] Purpose The Internship in Administrative Leadership provides real-life activities that allow interns to

apply theory and knowledge of subject matter content and to assess and reflect on the interaction

of theory and practice. In addition, the Internship is meant to provide a service to the host site

and district by providing administrative candidates who have the potential to function in a

leadership position and by applying theoretical concepts and research in school administration.

Finally, the Internship provides an assessment regarding the intern’s ability to effectively

perform the responsibilities associated with school leadership. Required Internship Forms to be Submitted

their Executive Showcase and complete reflections, or students will not pass TLDR 605I.

Grading Policy

Any intern receiving a grade of B- or below in any course is required to repeat the course

regardless of the student’s current Academic Standing. The TLDR 605I is a pass/fail course. In

order to be considered at a passing status, students must receive 80% or better.

A = 950–1000 A- = 900–949 B+ = 850–899 B = 800–849 B- = 750–799 Prim Library Resources

Using the library’s resources effectively (not just Internet resources) contributes to developing

each of SNC’s core themes by exposing students to high quality academic resources, diverse

opinions, new ideas, and a future that includes building on a liberal arts education. In this course,

you will be expected to utilize the library’s resources (either on-site or remotely) as you

complete your assignments. If you have questions or problems, please contact the library at

[email protected]. Betts Markle, Library Director [email protected] (775) 881-

7511. Attendance

TLDR 605I interns are expected to attend all scheduled seminars. If an intern has two absences

from seminars, he/she may be asked to withdraw from TLDR 605I and repeat it at a later date at

the discretion of the instructor. All instructor decisions regarding attendance will be supported by

the administration (current SNC Catalog). Use of Electronic Devices

While electronic devices are commonplace, interns are asked to use common courtesy and common

sense in the use of electronic devices during seminar sessions. Using laptop computers during

seminars to enhance learning is encouraged. Please avoid using them for non-class related purposes.

The ringing of cells phones is distracting to the instructor and other interns, so please turn the phones

off during class. Texting during seminars may interfere with your ability to focus on the content of

the seminar, so please refrain from doing so. In case of an emergency that requires you to maintain

contact with someone outside of the seminar, please inform the instructor at the beginning of the

seminar, and leave the seminar quietly to use the device when necessary.

Late Assignments

Page 8: Administrative Internship Handbook & Syllabus · Administrative Internship Handbook & Syllabus Overview ... Administrative Intern Self-Assessment ... experiences as related to ISLLC

8

When applicable, interns are required to inform the instructor via email at least 24 hours in advance

of the due date if their assignment will be late in order for it to be considered for partial credit.

Assignments turned in after the due date will lose 20% of total possible points for each day the

assignments are overdue. Academic Accommodations

Sierra Nevada College is committed to protecting disability rights and accommodating interns as

defined in the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.

Interns with physical, learning, or psychological disabilities who wish to request accommodations are

required to present appropriate documentation of their disabilities to the Director of Academic

Support Services, who will make the necessary accommodations available as appropriate to the

documented disability on file. It is suggested that interns seeking accommodations contact the

Director before the semester begins to make their request. Specific information about an intern’s

disability is kept confidential. Every effort will be made by the faculty and staff of Sierra Nevada

College to provide reasonable accommodations. It is the intern’s responsibility to request

accommodations. The SNC Email System

The SNC email system is the official communication vehicle among interns, faculty members and

administrative staff, and is designed to protect the confidentiality of student information as required

by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 Act (FERPA). Interns should check their

college email accounts daily during the school year. Sanctions for Cheating and/or Plagiarism: The Honor Code

The faculty of SNC believes interns must be held to high standards of integrity in all aspects of

college life in order to promote the educational mission of the College and to encourage respect for

the rights of others. Each intern brings to the SNC community unique skills, talents, values and

experiences which, when expressed within the community, contribute to the quality of the

educational environment and the growth and development of the individual. Interns share with

members of the faculty, administration and staff the responsibility for creating and maintaining an

environment conducive to learning and personal development, where actions are guided by mutual

respect, integrity, responsibility, and trust. The faculty and interns alike must make diligent efforts to

ensure high standards are upheld by their colleagues and peers, as well as themselves. Therefore,

faculty and interns accept responsibility for maintaining these standards at Sierra Nevada College and

are obligated to comply with its regulations and procedures, which they are expected to read and

understand. Consequences of Violating the Student Honor Code

SNC interns and faculty share the responsibility for maintaining an environment of academic

honesty. Thus, all are responsible for knowing and abiding by the SNC Faculty/Student Honor Code

published in the current SNC Catalog. Please see SNC Catalog for complete policy. Cheating and/or Plagiarism

Academic honesty requires students to assume individual responsibility for assignments and tests.

Interns who copy the work of other interns have violated this policy. Those who allow others to copy

their work have also violated this policy. Please see SNC Catalog for complete policy.

Graduate Level Writing: What Constitutes Graduate Level Writing?

Graduate-level writing needs to be perfectly clear, concise, and free from common errors. Correct grammar,

punctuation, logic and organization, critical thinking, diction and vocabulary, and research writing skills are

required at the graduate level. The Department of Teacher Education requires students to have graduate level

writing skills and to know and correctly use the academic writing style of APA.

Graduate level writing displays critical thinking skills. The writer demonstrates the ability to see various sides

of an argument: s/he questions assumptions, avoids commonplaces and develops a clear argument from the

available literature on the subject. This type of writing always establishes a purpose while addressing a specific

audience. Often, graduate level writing provides suggestions for further research and development beyond the

limits of the course assignment.

Below is a list of features that characterize graduate level writing, each accompanied by a brief explanation:

riting provides in-depth analysis of the issues that are being discussed. The writer is able to

distinguish among primary and secondary sources and bases her/his work on objective findings while avoiding

subjective statements. The writing is based on empirical evidence.

research to support ideas. The student consults sources that are deemed appropriate for her/his topic and gives

the reader full access to such sources through properly documented in-text citations and a reference page.

generalizations are not allowed.

format, and constraints.

builds her/his argument around a thesis, theory or

claim. The different sections of a paper are appropriately connected with transitions. Every paragraph flows

logically from the previous paragraph, working to further develop the main idea. The writer provides details,

specifics, and examples to enhance her/his argument.

between a synthesis and an analysis and chooses accordingly. S/he is able to provide a summary of the most

relevant findings when requested to do so or to provide a cogent analysis of the material.

Administrative Internship Plan The Administrative Internship Plan, worth 1,000 points, is a plan designed to help interns reflect

and synthesize their experiences as an Administrative Intern at the designated school/work site

(criteria outlined below). Preceding the final seminar, interns will be asked to submit an

Administrative Internship Plan (see Appendix B) to their TLDR 605I instructor for review,

signed Certificate of Completion-Parts I & II (see Appendix H) and signed Administrative Intern

Hour Log (see Appendix I). Certificate of Completion will not be received unless interns have

met all the criteria outlined in this syllabus and in the handbook. Following are the seven

components of the Administrative Internship Plan:

1. Administrative Intern Hour Log (Mandatory-will not pass without successful

completion of required hours) Interns must complete a minimum of 200 internship hours. These hours must be at the

school/work site of their internship, and hours must be formally documented using the Internship

Practical Experiences Table (see Appendix D) and the Administrative Intern Hour Log (see

Appendix I). These hours are mandatory.

2. Intern Meetings with SNC Internship Supervisor/Site Administrator Mentor

(Mandatory-will not pass without meetings)

Interns will be required to attend five meetings with their SNC Internship Supervisor; of those

five meetings, three meetings are with the Site Administrator Mentor and SNC Internship

Supervisor. These meetings are mandatory.

3. Internship Orientation and Seminar Series (700 points/140 points per meeting)

Interns must have successful attendance at the Internship Orientation (mandatory) and a

minimum of three additional on-campus seminars. Seminars will be topic-based and provide

opportunities for interns to ‘debrief’ and discuss/reflect on their school/work experiences as an

administrative intern. Seminars may include the following: speakers, activities and presentations

as assigned.

An email will be sent from your TLDR 605I Instructor, several weeks prior to the semester, indicating the

seminar dates to provide you with ample time for planning your schedule.

4. Administrative Intern Self-Assessment (Mandatory-will not pass without completion)

Interns will meet with their Site Administrator Mentor and SNC Internship Supervisor to review

and discuss their assessment results. Interns will then apply/discuss their results as part of their

Internship Practical Experiences Table. Please remember that the purpose of this instrument is to

assist you in identifying your current strengths and weaknesses as an educational leader. The

instrument is based upon the Interstate School Leaders Licensure Consortium: Standards for

School Leaders, the ISLLC Standards (http://coe.fgcu.edu/faculty/valesky/isllcstandards.htm)

upon which the SNC program and administrative endorsement in the state of Nevada are founded

(see Appendix C for Administrative Intern Self-Assessment). In addition, interns will complete

the self- assessment for the final evaluation to compare to their first completion, noting growth

over time. An Excel version of the self-assessment will be provided.

5. Intern Practical Experiences Artifact Table (300 points/50 points each standard)

Interns will complete an Intern Practical Experience Artifact Table to document and reflect upon

experiences conducted at their school/work site as an administrative intern. Successful

completion and documentation of the Intern Practical Experience Artifact Table will be reflective

of the six standards. In addition, interns will use this table to log contact hours, provide a brief

summary of what was done and reflect upon the connection of the task to the ISLLC standard

and to their growth in leadership. Interns will use the table provided to organize these artifacts

(see Appendix D for Intern Practical Experience Artifact Table). 6. Executive Showcase Presentation (Mandatory-will not pass without presentation)

The Executive Showcase Presentation is an electronic presentation that interns are required to

conduct, in order to ‘showcase’ one of the tasks that they performed at the school/work site. The

task chosen is a task that is clearly correlated to one of the six standards and to the intern self-

assessment. The presentation must be electronic and may include use of visuals, handouts and

any other materials that the interns believe will highlight their achievements. Presentations are to

be 20-30 minutes in length. Interns will present their Executive Showcase Presentation to their

Site Administrator Mentor and SNC Internship Supervisor (see Appendix E for Executive

Showcase Presentation rubric). Interns will be required to provide a copy of their electronic

presentation, along with the rubric, completed by their SNC Internship Supervisor in their final

Administrative Internship Plan that is submitted preceding the final seminar.

7. Intern Reflection Questions (Mandatory-will not pass without meetings)

As part of their Administrative Internship Plan, submitted at the final seminar to their seminar

instructor, interns will complete three reflective questions. In a one to three page paper, students

will address the following questions:

In what area(s) did you experience the greatest professional growth during your

Internship?

What competencies are in greatest need of further development as you continue your

program of leadership development?

What additional comments or suggestions do you have related to your Internship?

Site Administrator Mentor Responsibilities

SNC Site Administrator Mentors must:

collaborate with SNC Internship Supervisor and Intern to develop the Administrative

Internship Plan based on the needs of the school and the Administrative Intern’s Self-

Assessment;

provide meaningful learning opportunities for the Administrative Intern by delegating

significant responsibilities, supervising and directing the experience on a day-to-day

basis, and offering feedback as needed;

meet a total of three times, with the SNC Internship Supervisor and the Administrative

Intern to review the Administrative Internship Plan, on-the-job performance, scope and

depth of the intern’s responsibilities, and what, if any, changes are necessary;

responsible for signing Certificate of Completion for the internship to certify that all the

requirements of the internship have been met (see Appendix H);

responsible for signing Administrative Intern Hour Log for the internship to certify that

all the hours of the internship have been met (see Appendix I).

(It is unnecessary for the Site Mentor to attend any meetings at the SNC Campus.)

SNC Internship Supervisor Responsibilities

SNC Internship Supervisors must:

Coordinate the internship experience to include but not be limited to:

o ensure Administrative Intern reads the handbook;

o ensure Administrative Intern completes self-evaluation prior to first meeting with

Site Administrator Mentor and SNC Supervisor;

work collaboratively with Site Administrator Mentor and Administrative Intern to

complete the Administrative Internship Plan;

Page 13: Administrative Internship Handbook & Syllabus · Administrative Internship Handbook & Syllabus Overview ... Administrative Intern Self-Assessment ... experiences as related to ISLLC

13

ensure that the internship site provides opportunities for the development of broad

understandings of administrative tasks and skill areas.

resolve challenges which may arise;

ensure that the Administrative Intern is receiving performance feedback;

meet with the Administrative Intern at least five times, three of which include the Site

Administrator Mentor, throughout the semester to review progress, including a mid-term

evaluation and a final evaluation (see Appendices F and G);

complete the Executive Showcase Rubric to evaluate the Administrative Intern’s final

presentation (see Appendix E);

sign Certificate of Completion-Part I for the internship to certify that all the requirements

of the internship have been met (see Appendix H);

sign Administrative Intern Hour Log to certify that all the hours of the internship have

been met (see Appendix I).

Frequent communication is desirable to appraise progress, resolve any concerns and

challenges which may arise, and provide general feedback and support throughout the Internship.

If the SNC Supervisor deems the site does not meet these criteria, he/she must notify the

Administrative Internship/Online Coordinator of the M.Ed., Dr. Dottie Kulesza

([email protected]), immediately.

SNC Internship Supervisor Administrative Intern Evaluations The Administrative Interns will be evaluated in relation to the six standards (see Appendix F)

and also evaluated based on four areas of their overall Administrative Internship Plan: Meetings,

Self-assessment, Practical Experience Tasks, and Executive Showcase Presentation (see

Appendix G). The SNC Internship Supervisor is to determine if the Administrative Intern has

met expectations, approached expectations or did not meet expectations.

Unsatisfactory Level of Performance

When enrolling in the administrative internship, an intern makes a commitment to mutually

agreed upon goals, responsibilities, and expectations as specified by Sierra Nevada College and

the assigned school/site. The internship is viewed as a continuation of the learning process;

therefore, when an intern experiences difficulty in the assignment, he/she must receive remedial

assistance. Typically, the Site Administrator Mentor identifies the problem first. He/she should

discuss the problem with the Administrative Intern, and together they should devise (by the

fourth week of the internship) strategies for remediation. Early identification of problems

increases the likelihood of effective intervention.

The SNC Internship Supervisor should be notified of any problem or potential difficulty as

quickly as possible so he/she can assist with the remediation. In addition, Administrative

Internship/Online Coordinator of the M.Ed., Dr. Dottie Kulesza ([email protected]),),

should be notified immediately so that she may assist with the resolution and documentation of

all efforts undertaken. All efforts should be documented and thoroughly reviewed by the triad

(Site Administrator Mentor, SNC Internship Supervisor and Administrative Intern), and

subsequent conference(s) should include the Director as necessary. The intern has a right to

know what problems are identified, what improvements are required, what resources are

available and how he/she can access them according to a specified timeline. Nevertheless, the

Page 14: Administrative Internship Handbook & Syllabus · Administrative Internship Handbook & Syllabus Overview ... Administrative Intern Self-Assessment ... experiences as related to ISLLC

14

welfare of the Administrative Intern and school must be given prime consideration while the

intern is developing competence as a leader.

If a conference, as outlined above, is so warranted, it is required that the determination made in

this conference be provided in writing. Circumstances in which the Site Administrator Mentor

or SNC Internship Supervisor has requested the removal of an Administrative Intern from the

internship, for specifically stated reasons, will be thoroughly documented. This documentation

will be used to determine if it is appropriate for the Administrative Intern to continue or be

terminated from the internship. The Administrative Intern will be notified of the results of the

conference in writing within one week of the final conference by the Administrative

Internship/Online Coordinator of the M.Ed., Dr. Dottie Kulesza ([email protected]),.

At any time, school district personnel have the right to the final decision regarding the

Administrative Intern’s completion of the internship assignment.
