EN098 English Internships in Private Schools   (3.00 cr.)

Prerequisite: Written permission of the instructor. Qualified seniors may enrich their education by teaching English in a private school. Interns ordinarily are English majors, have completed at least eight upper-division courses, and have a QPA of at least 3.000. During the internship semester, they spend ten hours per week in a private school, working closely with a mentor who is an experienced teacher, under the supervision of the school's English department. Interns are responsible for keeping journals, meeting regularly with the internship coordinator, and producing a final reflection on the internship experience. These internships are limited to Baltimore-area private schools, during the fall or spring semester only. Students should begin preparing for the internship at least one month prior to registration during the semester before the internship takes place.
