o Attributes of Leaders – Note any attributes you want to further develop.

o Task vs. People Profile – Note any need for a better balance or to increase both.

EDLD 5311 Fundamentals of Leadership

o Project(s) – Leading one or more projects is required. Seek advice from the site supervisor.

o General Leadership Areas – If you listed any general areas from above and are uncertain about a specific activity or activities, discuss with your site supervisor.

o Consider any activities listed as Beyond Expectations from the Week 5 lecture.

Organizing the internship plan. The details of the organization plan are outlined below. The basic assignment requires you to outline activities in your plan that will assist you in acquiring knowledge and skills needed to become competent in addressing and practicing the nine TExES Principal competencies.

The Internship Plan should be organized according to the nine SBEC principal competencies. Under the nine competencies listed below, you will find a total of 38 skill areas, with a notation of the page(s) in the School Leader Internship text relating to each skill area. The text describes the skills, and provides examples of activities you might include in your plan. While the list of activities described is not exhaustive, it will provide good suggestions and a model to follow.

At the bottom of the list of sample activities is an activity called “Other.” If you choose not to include a listed activity from the text, you may write in another related activity. “Other” related activities are typically chosen according to school needs, goals, and differing opportunities. Your site supervisor will assist in choosing “Other” activities.

In some cases, embedded intern hours from other courses will suffice for the particular skill area. The minimum of 140 hours in the three following domains is over and above the hours of embedded intern hours from other courses. Embedded intern hours required in other courses will be approximately 140 hours. Thus, the internship should conclude with at least 280 hours.

You are advised to plan for at least one activity in each of the 38 skill areas found in the text. Pencil in a check mark on any activity/activities (or Other) in your text prior to meeting with your site supervisor and completing your internship plan.

Week 5 Assignment, Part 2: Supervisor Feedback

When you finish the draft of your Internship Plan, bring the following information to your meeting with your school site supervisor:

A printout of your draft Internship Plan.

A printout of your Skill/Knowledge Area chart.

Your textbook with sample activity boxes checked.

With your site supervisor, go over your review of the documentation areas and the activities you identified in your intern text. Solicit recommendations from your site supervisor and collaboratively make additions, deletions, or improvements to the plan. In the space below, briefly summarize your meeting with your site supervisor. What did he/she like about your plan? What activities did he/she recommend you add to your plan?

She thought the plan was far too extensive for an intern at this stage of the program. Many of the activities would fall under the heading of a school principal or district supervisor not an assistant principal. That we should walk through just the administrative part of a principal as a disciplinarian.

When you have completed your Internship Plan, post the following documents in the portfolio:

Internship Plan

Vita

Intern hours from this course (use the Log/Journal Form). Include the date and time spent on your two leadership interviews (6 hours), date and time spent in developing your vita (3 hours), date and time spent in meetings with your site supervisor (9 hours).

The hours listed in parentheses represent our estimate of how long field activities may take in practice. Include date and time spent in activities you performed during this course. Since your intern plan will be approved at the end of this course and you will begin the on-campus internship, you will be logging both embedded hours and on-campus hours in your future courses.

Embedded hours will be logged as 2 hours in each of the 9 competencies, as the interviews and plan cover all of them.

Begin a list for self and school recommendations. This list will be part of your final internship report at the end of the program. As you intern throughout your program, you may find additional knowledge or skill areas that you need further experience developing. These will become part of your professional development plan after you complete your degree. It is advised that you keep a list on your computer as you discover these areas for improvement versus trying to recollect at the end of the internship.
