EDUC 509 - Clinic II: Literacy Leadership Internship

(3 credits)

In the Clinic II, the candidate is expected to step beyond the more narrow focus of the tutor/child experience of Clinic I to incorporate greater involvement in the school, the school system, and the larger community. In this capacity, the candidate must help foster a culture of literacy through professional growth, collegial interaction within the schools, and liaison with the parents and community. Through this process, the candidate will demonstrate leadership in the implementation of the vision developed and articulated in the Clinic I proposal. The culmination of this experience will be the presentation of the complete Clinical Portfolio and self-evaluation. Prerequisite(s): EDUC 504, EDUC 505, EDUC 506, EDUC 507, EDUC 508.
