Introduction

The student teaching internship is the final course and capstone experience for graduate

students in UMUC’s state-approved MAT teacher education program. The internship is

preceded by four semesters of coursework and observation/participation in diverse classrooms.

The internship provides time to practice and refine your professional skills under the guidance

of experienced professionals from the school and university. The internship will most likely be

more challenging than you anticipate, but also more rewarding. The internship is paradoxical

in many ways – you are expected to be knowledgeable and skilled, yet you are a learner with a

need to experience events first-hand within a school community. You are expected to be

collaborative, yet work well independently and take initiative. You are a guest in the mentor

teacher’s classroom, yet also expected to take ownership for all instructional responsibilities.

You are not expected to have mastered all the complexities of teaching, but rather to show

progress in becoming a master teacher. Be patient with yourself and simultaneously work hard

to demonstrate your skills and abilities to possible employers. You will be guided through this

journey by experienced teachers (the mentor teacher) and the university field supervisor. The

Director for Student Support, the EDTP 650 seminar professor, and the MAT Program Chair

are also available to assist with any issues that may arise during the internship.

Mission of the UMUC Department of Education

Consistent with UMUC’s unique commitment to educate learners wherever they are regardless

of their age, background, and the complexities of their daily lives, the Department of Education

prepares educators to meet PreK-12 students’ needs and promote their learning, embracing

their various backgrounds, geographic locations, and special needs. Our mission is to serve as a

model for and facilitate the growth of educators who can create a learning culture where

students exist at the center of the educational situation, where educators have conviction that all

students can learn at high levels and that their work can promote these high levels of learning,

and where community, leadership, continuous improvement, and adaptability are the norm.

Through cutting-edge technology in our classrooms, we make high-quality teacher education

available to all of our candidates. We pride ourselves on the diversity of our candidates and

value the multicultural, often multinational, perspectives in our classrooms. In addition, we

prepare educators who teach beyond boundaries. Through UMUC’s MAT theoretical

Page 5: The Professional Internship of the UMUC Teacher Candidate · Mission of the UMUC Department of Education ... Dr. Warna Gillies warna.gillies@umuc.edu MAT Program Chair and Collegiate

5

framework, educators are able to meet individual PreK-12 students’ needs and promote

learning by recognizing, embracing, and cultivating community among all races, ethnicities,

backgrounds, socioeconomic conditions, geographic locations, and special needs. Our faculty

and our graduates strive to bring students into communities including and beyond their

classroom and introduce them to knowledge and skills beyond the boundaries of their own

experiences.

Information and Problem Solving

This handbook will serve as a resource for information, procedures, and forms for the student

teaching internship. Make sure you read and share the handbook with your mentor teacher.

Many problems can be avoided by following instructions in this manual and by seeking

assistance early. Always try to solve a problem as close to the source as possible. If that is not

possible, respect the lines of communication and authority in the school and university. For

example, interns should work with their mentor teacher(s) and the university supervisor before

seeking help from the MAT program. However, staff in the MAT program are available to

provide information and assistance to all members of the student teaching/internship team.

Eligibility for Student Teaching Internship

Eligibility for the student teaching internships requires good academic standing and satisfactory

completion of all other coursework and requirements in the MAT program including

submission of passing scores on both the basic skills assessment and the appropriate content

assessment(s) for the candidate’s discipline.

Internship Placements

The first step in the placement process is the completion of the internship application. The

application is sent electronically to all candidates in January of each year. Candidates are to

complete the application well in advance of the anticipated internship semester. The deadline to

submit the internship application is late February for fall and early September for spring

placement. When applying for the internship, candidates identify schools for approval by the

Director for Student Support. Consideration is given to each candidate’s preferred schools.

School placement will reflect diversity and varied school cultures. Placement also involves

such factors as policies and procedures of the school system, school policy allowing for student

interns, availability of positions at a school, and the availability of qualified mentor teachers at

each location. Candidate input is invited and first preferences are accommodated whenever

appropriate. Contact with the school must be made by MAT program staff.

The MAT program holds a required intern orientation prior to the internship. Following

notification of approved placement, each candidate should contact his/her mentor teacher and

arrange a meeting, via face-to-face, phone, online, etc. S/he should become familiar with the

mission and goals of the school, as well as the curriculum standards. The intern and mentor

teacher(s) should discuss what is expected in the early days of the placement.

Overview of the Internship

The culmination of the UMUC MAT courses and field experiences result in the teacher

candidate’s Professional Internship. All UMUC teacher candidates must complete a full-time

internship of 80 in-school days (approximately 17 calendar weeks) during which time the intern

is in the school five days per week, from the beginning until the end of school day. The

internship is a minimum of 600 hours in-school time. This commitment is a full-time

experience achieved over the course of one semester under the supervision of a mentor teacher

who is certified in the intern’s content area. The length of the internship aligns to the Maryland

State Department of Education program approval requirements. An extended period of time for

the internship provides thorough preparation and a comprehensive professional development

experience. Candidates are expected to complete the full semester of internship within the

allocated time frame.

Transition of Classroom Responsibility

The intern begins by observing and co-teaching, and then gradually assumes responsibility for

instruction until s/he carries the full teaching load. Toward the end of the assignment, the

student gradually returns responsibility for instruction to the classroom teacher. During the

transition periods before and after independent teaching, the mentor teacher and the intern may

co-teach or share responsibility for specific periods or subjects.

Interns should, however, always progress at a rate appropriate to their preparedness to assume

responsibility for instruction. Some situations may require a modified schedule of assuming

classroom responsibility. Modifications to the schedule must be approved by the university

supervisor and Chair of the MAT Program. Any modifications to the schedule may result in

an extension of the internship experience.

Interns will spend the first 1-2 weeks becoming acclimated to the routines of the school, their

classes, and their mentor teacher(s) and students. The intern will be expected to take part in all

duties required of and with the mentor teacher during the school day, including attending

meetings/activities, planning, instructing, assessing, and organizing classroom and students as

needed to effectively engage and teach the students. It is also encouraged that the intern

participate in all extracurricular activities for which the mentor teacher is responsible.

Experiences will vary from intern to intern, but all interns will take full responsibility for the

entire course load in planning, teaching, and other instruction duties by end of the sixth week.

Interns should take over at least one class by the end of week four, gradually adding all courses

by the end of week six. Gradual assumption of full responsibilities will be assisted by the

mentor teacher. The following schedule summarizes the responsibilities for the intern (I),

mentor teacher (MT), university (US).

internship by the university supervisor and mentor teacher. The intern also performs self-

assessments of his/her performance. Mentor teachers and university supervisors will be

asked to complete and submit a mid-term progress report. The progress report should note

needs for improvement so the intern may work on recommendations before the required

final evaluation.

15. Should any questions or difficulties arise during the student teaching internship, contact the

university supervisor or the MAT Program Chair.

Responsibilities of the Team

The student teaching internship is widely regarded as the single most important component of

teacher education. The effectiveness of the experience depends upon the degree to which all

members of the team fulfill their responsibilities and establish good working relationships.

Frequent and open communication is essential. It is particularly important that the university

supervisor and the mentor teacher work as a team to provide support and guidance to the intern.

Mentor Teacher Responsibilities

One of the most critical components of a teacher education program is the opportunity for

student teacher interns to observe and participate in a classroom under the professional

guidance of a mentor teacher. Mentor teachers are an integral part of the program and make an

important contribution to the UMUC Department of Education, to the interns preparing to be

teachers, and to the teaching profession. The role of the mentor teacher is to support, model,

and work closely with interns to help them become successful teachers.

The mentor teacher provides the intern with actual classroom experience that increases the

intern’s knowledge of secondary classroom instruction, management, and organization. The

internship experience allows the intern to implement newly learned skills in a supportive

environment and enables them to teach classes independently. Co-teaching is acceptable;

however, it is imperative that the intern must also teach independently. Mentor teachers have a

dual responsibility. They help interns become successful and reflective teachers, but they also

Page 12: The Professional Internship of the UMUC Teacher Candidate · Mission of the UMUC Department of Education ... Dr. Warna Gillies warna.gillies@umuc.edu MAT Program Chair and Collegiate

12

ensure that the classroom students are provided with appropriate learning experiences with a

student teacher intern.

Prescribed observation forms, developed to assess standard-based learning, are used by the

mentor teacher for regular observations of the intern. The mentor teacher provides a copy of

the written feedback from these observations to the intern and completes observation forms in

Tk20. The mentor teacher’s observations provide a framework for mid-semester and final

conferences and evaluations. Interns also complete their own self-assessments in Tk20.

Mentor teachers are prepared for their responsibilities in several ways. UMUC holds a

mandatory mentor teacher orientation webinar prior to the start of the internship. The session is

designed to introduce mentors to the vision, mission, and standards of the MAT program. The

orientation session provides guidance with regard to timelines and communication and provides

an overview of assessment tools. Additionally, MAT administrators discuss roles and

responsibilities with new mentor teachers. University supervisors will also consult with mentor

teachers during observations and three-way conferences.

UMUC’s Expectations of the Mentor Teacher:

The mentor teacher accepts the intern as a professional and conveys this acceptance to the

classes the intern is to teach. S/he acquaints the intern with school personnel, policies,

regulations, facilities, and calendar. S/he provides a model of teaching for the intern to observe

and adapt to his/her own use.

The mentor teacher collects detailed lesson plans for every lesson taught by the intern. The

mentor teacher reviews lesson plans with the intern at least 24 hours prior to each lesson

presentation (the use of Google docs is recommended). The mentor teacher checks the intern’s

lesson plans, tests, and other evaluative material. While the mentor teacher gradually enables

increasing amounts of independence, the ultimate responsibility for the students’ learning rests

with the mentor teacher in conjunction with the intern.

The mentor teacher assists the intern in developing techniques for evaluating and grading

student work.

The mentor teacher aids the intern in acquiring and utilizing available instructional materials.

If the mentor teacher is absent, the intern may not teach or take over his/her classes unless a

substitute teacher is available.

The mentor teacher participates in conferences with the intern and the university supervisor to

assess the intern’s progress and to outline future goals.

The mentor teacher performs three formal observations of the intern and completed three

evaluation forms (assessing content, pedagogy, professional dispositions) in Tk20 after each

Page 13: The Professional Internship of the UMUC Teacher Candidate · Mission of the UMUC Department of Education ... Dr. Warna Gillies warna.gillies@umuc.edu MAT Program Chair and Collegiate

13

formal observation. Pre- and post-observation conferences are conducted with the intern to

review and discuss performance.

At the midway point of the internship, the mentor teacher provides a recommended formative

grade, in a numeric form based on a scale of 100, for the first half of the intern’s experience

and a brief 1-2 paragraph explanation for the grade. This evaluation is submitted via Tk20.

The mentor teacher also prepares a written narrative evaluation and recommended final grade,

in a numeric forms based on a scale of 100, at the conclusion of the student teaching internship

experience. In the final evaluation, the mentor teacher must indicate whether or not s/he

recommends the intern for the passing of the internship. This evaluation is submitted via Tk20.

University Field Supervisor Responsibilities

The university field supervisor serves as an advisor and a coach for the intern during the student

teaching internship. The university supervisor evaluates and supports the teacher candidate intern.

UMUC holds a mandatory university supervisor orientation session prior to the start of the internship.

Activities for the university supervisors include, but are not limited to, the following areas:

Serving as advisor to the intern.

Attending meetings with the mentor teacher and intern at least three times during the internship

experience.

Communicating with the intern on a weekly basis.

Ensuring the intern’s reflections are based on teaching/learning activities reflecting an

understanding of diverse settings, with diverse school community trends as a focus.

Communicating with the intern and other school personnel as needed in order to facilitate the

success of the teacher candidate as an educator and member of the school community.

Working with the intern and mentor teacher to plan for the transitions of classroom responsibility

to meet the internship schedule.

Providing formative and summative written feedback to the intern.

Communicating with the UMUC Department of Education concerning the intern’s progress,

successes, and challenges.

Conducting a minimum of three formal observations over the course of the total internship, per the

submission schedule that will be provided. The formal observation process includes the pre-

observation, formal observation, and post-observation discussions.

At the midway point of the internship, the university supervisor provides a recommended formative

grade, in a numeric form based on a scale of 100, for the first half of the intern’s experience and a

brief 1-2 paragraph explanation for the grade. This evaluation is submitted via Tk20.

Page 14: The Professional Internship of the UMUC Teacher Candidate · Mission of the UMUC Department of Education ... Dr. Warna Gillies warna.gillies@umuc.edu MAT Program Chair and Collegiate

14

The university supervisor also prepares a written narrative evaluation and recommended final

grade, in a numeric forms based on a scale of 100, at the conclusion of the student teaching

internship experience. This evaluation is submitted via Tk20.

The Mentor Teacher/University Supervisor Observation Forms

Prescribed observation forms are used during the internship to evaluate the intern’s progress. These

forms are intended for use by the university supervisor and the mentor teacher(s) for formal

observations of the teacher candidate intern. These forms include:

Teaching pedagogy observation form, based on standards of the UMUC Conceptual Framework.

Discipline-specific observation form, as appropriate to each intern.

Professional disposition observation form.

Evaluation form to collect feedback from secondary students (optional).

These forms are incorporated into Tk20, an outcomes assessment and reporting system for teacher

education. All mentor teachers and university supervisors will be provided with a Tk20 account. At

the start of the internship, training is provided to all mentor teachers and university supervisors in the

use ofTk20. The Web address for accessing Tk20 is http://umuc.tk20.com. If there are questions

regarding Tk20 during the internship, please contact the system administrator, Dr. Datta Kaur Khalsa,

at [email protected] or 240-684-2492.

Intern Responsibilities

Attendance and Absences

The student teaching internship begins the day teachers report at the intern’s school or directly

following completion of the school’s winter break and continues for 80 in-school days. All

interns are expected to remain in school all day, from before the first bell until after the last

bell, and to participate in the full range of activities for which the mentor teacher is responsible:

supervising homeroom; writing progress reports; attending planning, department, and faculty

meetings; providing after-school help; etc. The intern attends all professional development

sessions beginning with those scheduled at the start of the internship and continuing throughout

his/her time in the school.

Interns follow the school’s vacation calendar and not the university calendar. If interns must be

absent from school, they must inform their mentor teacher, university supervisor, and other

appropriate school personnel and make up the days missed to conform to a total of 80 in-

Page 15: The Professional Internship of the UMUC Teacher Candidate · Mission of the UMUC Department of Education ... Dr. Warna Gillies warna.gillies@umuc.edu MAT Program Chair and Collegiate

15

school days. Unforeseen absences should only occur in the case of illness or family

emergency. Planned absences (e.g., a professional development day, a job interview, or a

religious holiday) need to be discussed with the mentor teacher as far in advance as possible.

Interns are permitted one day’s absence due to illness or personal reasons without the need to

make up the time at the school. If school is closed due to inclement weather, the intern will not

need to make up those days, unless the total number of missed days during the internship is

more than three days.

Expectations

Interns should be able to move rather quickly from observing and assisting the mentor teacher

to taking responsibility for instruction. Initial responsibilities should include individual and

small group work with students, lesson planning and review with mentor teacher(s), and other

activities as designated by the mentor teacher(s) and then gradually increase as the semester

progresses. By the end of week four, interns should take full responsibility for at least one

class and then gradually add additional classes. By the end of week six, interns should have

full responsibility of all classes.

Interns are expected to take responsibility for all of the other features of a teacher's day,

including, for example, bus duty, homeroom, study hall, recess, and lunchroom. Interns should

also attend faculty and department meetings, IEP planning meetings, and parent-teacher

meetings.

Required internship activities will include the following experiences:

Plan and teach a unit

Develop and carry out a Student Learning Objective Project

Design/administer assessments

Use technology to record and self-critique a lesson

Take part in the development of an IEP or in the IEP process, if possible

Complete professional portfolio

Instructional Planning

The student teaching internship is an opportunity to try out new teaching techniques. Interns should

not be afraid to try “non-traditional” modes of planning and teaching and should attempt to integrate

technology-based tools into teaching.

Page 16: The Professional Internship of the UMUC Teacher Candidate · Mission of the UMUC Department of Education ... Dr. Warna Gillies warna.gillies@umuc.edu MAT Program Chair and Collegiate

16

Interns need to spend significant amounts of time in planning for effective teaching. The intern must

submit lesson plans to mentor teachers before taking responsibility for instructing students. Lesson

plans must also be submitted at least 48 hours in advance to the university supervisor for the pre-

observation discussion, which is conducted prior to the formal classroom observation. Lesson plans

must follow the format that was used in the MAT program or follow the lesson plan format of the

county/district/school where the intern is teaching. Mentor teachers and university supervisors may

require additional information, as well as provide input and feedback regarding lesson plans.

Lesson plans should clearly reflect the integration of Maryland’s Standards for College and Career

Readiness. If any intern is residing and conducting the internship in another state, the intern is also

responsible for reflecting the integration of both the Maryland State standards and the standards of the

state in which they are teaching. Please refer to MSDE and the appropriate state Department of

Education for other state’s standards.

Planning is not only essential in providing directed learning experiences for the secondary students, but

helps the intern to develop a sense of rhythm and continuity in his/her teaching. The intern and mentor

teacher(s) should have a clear process for reviewing lesson plans prior to their implementation.

Mentor teachers, faculty, and peers can help the intern discover supplementary materials and serve as

resources and sounding boards for developing activities and ideas. The intern will complete a lesson

plan for each lesson s/he teaches. These must be submitted to the mentor teacher(s) in time to be read,

reviewed, and feedback provided.

Teaching Off School Premises

It is expected that activities for the intern will occur on school premises. Intern involvement in

activities which occur off-school premises such as field trips, workshops, conventions, etc., must be

sanctioned in writing by the school administrator. Interns should keep a record of the number of hours

worked offsite after or before school hours on the Intern Log of Hours Form (see Appendix).

Use of School Materials

The intern is encouraged to use materials available at the school but must be certain to return the

materials at the end of the internship. The internship course grade may be withheld and/or a fine may

be imposed if such materials are not returned or are damaged.

Coursework Required During the Student Teaching Internship Seminar

During the student teaching internship semester, interns must enroll and successfully complete course

assignments for EDTP 650 – Professional Internship and Seminar. This seminar course provides

an opportunity to reflect on the student teaching internship experiences with fellow interns.

Seminar Requirements

The seminar has several important components: participation in conferences, the iO Project which

involves viewing a video recording of the second formal observation and completion of two self-

assessments, completion of the Teaching and Leading Beyond Boundaries Portfolio (TLBB), and also

the Student Learning Objectives (SLO) Project. More information on these requirements is included in

the course documents.

Guidelines for Teacher Candidate Interns

The First Days

Interns should remember that they are guests in the host school and should become familiar with the

school’s culture. They should treat the school’s support staff (clerical, cafeteria, and custodial

workers) with the same respect and courtesy that they show to teachers, administrators, and students.

While part of the school’s culture consists of explicit regulations and policies, many of the norms and

customs are implicit and can only be learned over time through observing and asking questions.

It is important for the intern to become familiar with each school site’s policies, including those

concerning audio-visual equipment and photocopying and use and availability of supplies and

equipment. The intern should ask the mentor teacher for introductions to the principal, assistant

principal(s), and other staff members.

The mentor teacher is a valuable resource of information to help the intern acclimate to his/her

teaching site. Interns usually spend the first days of the internship observing their mentor teacher to

learn as much as possible about the students, classes, routing, and curriculum. It is important to

cultivate an open relationship and to feel free to discuss questions and concerns. How much

professional autonomy should an intern have? How closely must the intern follow a set agenda? How

much freedom does the intern have to use new materials and to try innovative teaching methods?

Mutual respect and flexibility are needed as the intern and mentor teacher both work towards setting

parameters for the student teaching experience.

Knowing specific information will be helpful for lesson planning and teaching:

Exactly what subject(s) in the content area will be taught?

Will there be any field trips or special events such as guest speakers?

What are the school policies regarding student conduct within the classroom and the building

and what are the procedures regarding safety (fire drills), discipline, family communication,

grading, and homework and progress reports?

Some schools have handbooks outlining policies that the mentor teacher or school

administrators should be willing to locate and share.

General information that everyone needs to know includes: school holidays, teacher sign

in/sign out procedures, the dates of early release, and whom to contact in case of

illness/absence.

Page 19: The Professional Internship of the UMUC Teacher Candidate · Mission of the UMUC Department of Education ... Dr. Warna Gillies warna.gillies@umuc.edu MAT Program Chair and Collegiate

19

The intern should let his/her mentor teacher know his/her home and cell phone numbers and

about any commitments that might interfere with and/or influence the student teaching

internship.

It is also important to decide what is considered suitable attire for teachers at the school. It is

essential to project the demeanor of a professional through dress, language, and behavior.

Helpful information for getting to know the school site:

Master district/school calendar for the year

District/school policies

School/district websites

School improvement plan

School demographics

School map

School schedule

Faculty directory

Within-school emergency numbers

Supervision and Evaluation

Guidance and support is available from several sources: the mentor teacher, the university supervisor,

and UMUC Education Department faculty and staff. However, interns will work most closely with

their mentor teacher(s) during the teaching internship. The role of mentor teacher brings an additional

responsibility to a teacher whose primary concern remains – as always – the secondary students in the

classroom. The interns begin by observing and will eventually take increasing responsibility for

teaching the mentor teacher’s classes as the internship progresses.

During the internship, interns are observed regularly by their mentor teacher(s) and periodically by

their university supervisors. Observations by mentor teacher(s) are followed by a feedback session

with the interns. The interns will also receive written feedback from their mentor teacher(s).

The university supervisor conducts a minimum of three (3) formal observations of each intern during

the internship. After each observation the university supervisor will conduct a conference with the

intern and provide him/her with a written evaluation. The scheduling of these formal observations will

be agreed upon by the intern and the mentor teacher(s).

The intern should feel free, however, to ask for additional observation and feedback. A vital part of

the student teaching internship is discussing what is happening in the classroom. An experienced

observer can offer thoughtful insight and guidance. Most mentor teachers and interns find it useful to

set aside a specific time each week to discuss planning and other issues.

Page 20: The Professional Internship of the UMUC Teacher Candidate · Mission of the UMUC Department of Education ... Dr. Warna Gillies warna.gillies@umuc.edu MAT Program Chair and Collegiate

20

At the midpoint and conclusion of the internship, the mentor teacher(s) and university supervisor

prepare a narrative evaluation of the intern’s teaching experience. At the end of the internship, the

intern will also present the results of the Student Learning Objectives Project. The presentation may

be face-to-face or provided through a wiki, blog, or other use of technology to share the results.

At the end of the program, the MAT Program Completion Council makes a final recommendation

about a candidate’s completion of the program. Occasionally, it is determined that a candidate has not

made sufficient progress in the internship to be recommended for a credential; in this case, the

Program Completion Council may provide an opportunity for the candidate to extend the internship

experience into another semester.

The student teaching internship experience is a challenging time, a time when organizational skills are

tested and a time when the professional teacher begins to develop. Teacher candidate interns often feel

there is more to do than they can reasonably accomplish but reflection with faculty, teachers and peers

will help manage the simultaneous roles of teacher and “student.” Both interns and mentor teachers

should feel free to contact anyone in the UMUC Department of Education with questions or concerns,

to talk about the student teaching internship, or to offer suggestions and ideas about the program.

Suggested Internship Activities and Timelines

The following activities are suggested as experiences during the internship. The activities range from

“becoming acquainted” activities to those directly involved with working within the classroom. This is

Applying for Teacher Licensure in Maryland

Graduating with your Master of Arts in Teaching degree does not automatically create your

teaching certificate in Maryland. You must apply for certification through the Maryland State

Department of Education (MSDE).

If you are offered a job before you have applied for certification, your new school district will apply

for the certificate on your behalf. If a job offer isn’t on the table or you plan to teach outside of

Maryland, you should apply for your certificate right after graduation and completion of all

requirements (including passing the appropriate pedagogy exam).

If you’re planning to teach outside of Maryland

The Education Department recommends all MAT graduates, regardless of state of residency,

apply for Maryland certification to take advantage of interstate reciprocity, which often makes

the process of applying for certification in other states easier and less time-consuming. Further

information on interstate reciprocity may be found at http://www.nasdtec.net/?page=interstate

Preparing your packet

You should send a complete packet of information to the Maryland State Department of Education

(MSDE). Your application packet should include:

1. Cover letter including your name, address, social security number, date of birth, daytime

telephone number, email address, and the subject area(s) for which you are seeking

certification.

Page 23: The Professional Internship of the UMUC Teacher Candidate · Mission of the UMUC Department of Education ... Dr. Warna Gillies warna.gillies@umuc.edu MAT Program Chair and Collegiate

23

2. Completed Application for Certification, if paper. Or, as is recommended, submit your

application online through MSDE’s Educator Portal

(https://educator.marylandpublicschools.org/Login.aspx) and then mail in your documents

noting on your cover letter than you have already submitted an online application.

3. Sealed transcripts reflecting your undergraduate and graduate degree(s) as well as all

coursework transferred to these institutions. PHOTOCOPIES ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE.

Student copies of transcripts are acceptable if submitted in an unopened mailer from the

Registrar’s Office. You should send your transcripts as part of your application packet. Do not

have them sent directly to MSDE by the university.

4. Copies of qualifying test scores for basic skills assessment (i.e., Praxis CORE, Praxis I, SAT,

GRE, or ACT), appropriate content assessment test scores (i.e., Praxis II content, ACTFL

WPT/OPI tests), and appropriate Praxis II pedagogy scores. You may submit a photocopy of

your original score report, but do not send in the PDF score report you can print from ETS’s

online site.

Do not send your only copy of your scores. If you need an additional score report, contact the testing

agency (ex. ETS, LTI, College Board).

Detailed information and instructions on applying for certification, including forms, can be accessed

on MSDE's Web site at www.mdcert.org

A-1: INSTRUCTIONS FOR LOG OF HOURS

The MAT Program requires reporting the amount of time spent in certain activities during the student

teaching internship on the Log of Hours (Appendix A-2). Students are encouraged to record times

daily, which will improve accuracy. The time should be designated according to the categories below:

Co-teaching includes shared responsibility for planning, instruction, assessment, and

supervision.

Co-teaching may involve team teaching an entire class, or working with individuals or small

groups.

Independent teaching includes full responsibility for supervising and teaching an entire class

according to plans developed by the intern and approved by the mentor teacher.

Other activities include observation, administrative meetings, parent conferences, staff

development, bus duty, etc.

Hours of school-based activity are the total of the first three columns, reflecting the time spent at the

school each day.

Use the Comment column to make brief notes about unusual circumstances such as “state testing” or

“field trips.”

Hours are to be totaled by the intern and each page of the Log of Hours is to be verified by the mentor

teacher and reviewed by the university supervisor. During the last visit by the university supervisor,

the supervisor review all of the individual Log of Hours forms to date and signs the Summary of Hours

Form (Appendix A-3). The intern then continues tracking time until the final last in-school, at which

time the mentor teacher signs the Summary of Hours Form. The intern then scans all Log of Hours

forms and Summary Form and uploads into Tk20 internship binder.
