ED 668 — Research Seminar & Field Experience III: Principal
To satisfy Minnesota Administrative Licensure requirements, student interns will work directly with a licensed and practicing principal for a minimum of 320 hours over the course of two/three semesters, or twelve consecutive months. Therefore, for this course, it is expected that the student intern would satisfy approximately 80 hours toward the completion of the required hours. Because the Minnesota Administrative License is a K-12 license, student interns are required to have practical experience in each of the three levels: elementary, middle school, and high school. A minimum of 160 hours should be in the area of expertise and/or current teaching background. Eighty (80) hours will be required in each of the other two grade levels. Students who fail to demonstrate a level of competence will be put on a growth plan, which will provide specific feedback for remediation and/or changes needed for improvement (see Field Experience Handbook). At the conclusion of the 320 hours, students will conduct an exit portfolio review with the University Supervisor.
