Educational Administration

The Educational Administration Internship should help the intern apply concepts, knowledge, and skills from study and previous experience to actual problems and day-to-day administrative duties. The intern will become involved in the real administrative life of educational organizations, and learn from administrative colleagues, as well as grow and mature through the internship's challenges, disappointments, and rewards, into a competent and independent educational administrator. Students seeking an administrative internship at the College of Saint Rose must:

• Have been accepted into either the SAS Certification Program or the Master's Program in Educational Administration at the College
• Have completed the prerequisite twelve credit hours (four courses) in Educational Administration at the College, with a minimum grade of B in each course.
• Think about your short and long term career goals.
• Attend an internship orientation meeting to get the EDA program's internship guidelines, and read them.

• Meet with the EDA internship coordinator if you need help drafting your proposal.
• Decide with your supervisors on when you will start your internship, what competencies you will be working to develop, what hours you will work (600 total), and who your site supervisor will be.
• Write a letter of intent to the EDA internship coordinator, specifying the expected dates and location of the internship.
• Complete at least 12 EDA credits at Saint Rose.
• Draft your proposal and get input from your site supervisor. Consult the internship coordinator if you have questions.
• Arrange for a letter of support for your internship to be sent by your board of education or other governing body to the EDA internship coordinator.
• Make final revisions in your proposal, and submit it to the internship coordinator, along with the application form (AT LEAST 6 WEEKS BEFORE YOUR STARTING DATE).
• After receiving approval of your proposal, with enclosed registration form, register for EDA 546 immediately.
• Meet with your college supervisor to go over the reporting requirements to be met during the internship (AT LEAST A WEEK BEFORE YOUR STARTING DATE).

The Educational Administration Residency is for the advanced student who is ready for independent responsibility involving challenging situations and interpersonal dynamics. It is a 100-hour experience that may be incorporated into the internship or completed separately. Students starting the residency must:

• Have been admitted to the SDA program

• Have had an outline of their residency assignment approved by the College Internship Coordinator and the sponsoring agencies;
• Have obtained letters of support from all involved districts and agencies;

Students who have completed all SAS requirements except for EDA 590 and the internship may incorporate the residency into the internship. In this case they will register for EDA 546 (3 credits) and 647 (3 credits).
