Extern's Proposed Duties:
This extern will observe the coordinator’s lessons and methods of engaging students, sit in meeting if necessary, and meet with other department teachers. If time permits, the extern(s) will likely be given a small research project to identify some best practices of instructions. There will be a small amount of screening at no cost, as this is a public school, but a confidentiality agreement is not needed prior to the start of externship. Proof of TB clearance is required due to likelihood of interactions with children under 18, and minimal paperwork is needed to fill out to gain permission to observe classroom activities. The coordinator (teacher) provides support with these forms if he is notified between November and December of extern(s)'s interest to partake in this opportunity.
