Assignments:
Articulation Agreement:
Process: Reflect on the process of finding and securing your internship. Who did you ask
to intern with? Why? How did you decide which internship to participate in?
What paperwork did you have to fill out? What information did the paperwork
ask for? What skills and abilities do you have to contribute to your internship?
Knowing how to develop articulation agreements will benefit you as a Family and
Consumer Sciences teacher where you will be developing articulation agreements
between your school and work sites for your students.
Process: Within 2 weeks of beginning your internship experience, you should identify your
goals and objectives. Goals are what you hope to achieve; objectives are what
you know you will achieve; a minimum of 3 each (at least 3 goals and 3
objectives). Look for opportunities to understand workplace issues, become
aware of safety regulations at work sites; practice effective work and safety
habits; understand ideas, opinions, and perceptions of business and industry;
practice entry level skills in the occupation; and demonstrate appropriate
workplace practices and ethics.
Purpose: To provide you with a foundation for and help in developing reflective,
integrative, creative skills, The Daily Reflection Journal is a reflective process
that gets you to think about what you have been learning in your internship
experience. It is designed to help you recognize the importance of life-long
learning beyond the classroom setting. The Daily Reflection Journal will be one
of the most important personal aspects of your internship experience. It should
promote your academic learning, your personal development and help you to pin
point where programs can be improved.
This part of your weekly report is private, and need not be shown to your
Experience Provider. It is meant to help you stretch and grow as a professional,
to hone your reflective evaluation skills, and help you develop a better self-
understanding so you may become a more effective professional. Increased self-
understanding will help you to see beyond and avoid personal biases that could
limit your effectiveness as a professional. It is through the reflection process that
you will experience the greatest personal growth.
Your journal entries will be read only by the Internship Coordinator. All personal
thought and insights will remain confidential.
Process: You are expected to write a minimum of one paragraph per day worked.
However, it is expected that some days you will write more. When making an
entry, begin with the date being reflected upon. Skip a line between the end of
one reflection and the beginning of another…
Regardless of the length of your entry, there is only one way to write it – DAILY.
This assignment is of less benefit to you if you do not make the entries daily.
Additionally, procrastinating your entries will unnecessarily increase the burden
of time expended on this aspect of the Weekly Report.
Three-page Summary
Purpose: Culminating your internship experience into one document allows the highlights
of the experience to surface.
Process: Word-process a 3-page summary of your entire internship experience, addressing
how your goals and objectives were met, identifying additional knowledge and
experience gained, and packaging all information into one document.
Communicate your understanding of: 1) the importance of using the employment
community to validate occupation skills; 2) the ideas, opinions, and perceptions of
business and industry; 3) the philosophical principles and practices of
professional-technical education; and 4) the relationships between schools,
families, and the community and how such relationships foster students learning.
Conceptual Outline:
Purpose: To design curriculum that aligns with your internship experience, to be used in
High school teaching and meets community and industry expectations.
Process: Create a Conceptual Outline (see attached example) listing the skills, abilities,
attitudes you learned/used during your internship. Include a summary paragraph
describing how you would teach those skills to secondary students.
Personal Inventory:
Purpose: To evaluate your experience and progress as an Intern. The ability to evaluate
your strengths and weaknesses on the job and then modify your actions
accordingly is essential to maintaining employment.
Process: You will evaluate yourself according to the following and then write a one-page
word processed report:
Job Competence:
Decision Making – the ability to make sensible, efficient and effective decisions
while taking into account the opinions and concerns of those affected by such
decisions.
Organizational Skills – the capacity to clearly see what needs to be done and then
to proceed in an orderly, logical manner. Also, the ability to involve others in
projects such that both efficiency and effectiveness are maintained.
Professionalism:
Adaptability – the ability to change to meet the needs of the experience provider
without too much difficulty; appropriate flexibility.
Interpersonal Relations:
Cooperation – the ability to work with others in harmony; carry your share of the
workload; and labor or act with others toward a common objective or goal.
Personal attributes:
Creativity – the ability to envision and develop unique ways of approaching and
carrying out projects or solving problems; bring to mind possibilities that have not
been previously entertained; inventiveness.
Self-Motivation – the capacity to draw from within the necessary energy and
enthusiasm to complete a duty; the ability to stay focused and on-task when
unmonitored by a supervisor or other external control.
Desire to Learn – the willingness to expend the effort to understand and learn
what is needed to fulfill responsibilities; openness to receiving feedback and
incorporating that information where possible; having an attitude of inquiry and a
willingness to do the required research or study to reach a desirable end.
Purpose: To allow you to express gratitude for the invaluable learning experience provided
by the agency personnel and others who have assisted you. Whether you choose
to continue in this area or proceed in another direction, your Experience Provider
has created opportunities for you to serve and to learn to become a professional.
Additionally, as individualism continues to increase in our society and
appreciation becomes less common, inculcation and expression of gratitude in
your actions can make you stand out from others, which may directly impact
future job offers, advancements, evaluation, and recommendation. The ability to
demonstrate appropriate appreciation is positively correlated with success.
Process: At the close of your internship, type or write a well-thought-out note of
appreciation on good stationary and send it to your agency or supervisor. As
appropriate, include specific examples of experiences and learning for which you
are thankful. Submit a copy in I-Learn.
Teamwork
Communication
Leadership
The skills I learned while teaching preschool can easily be applied to teaching secondary
education. In my classroom I would teach teamwork by having my students work in pairs, groups
and with myself or other teachers to practice the skill. This activity would also teach them verbal
communication.
To teach written communication I would have activities where students would write letters to
companies, community organizations, or government organizations for a purpose that related to an
issue discussed in class.
I would teach leadership skills by activities such as students teaching the class. I would also
encourage my students to get involved in after school organizations such as FCCLA to give them
more experience in leadership positions.
