Internship in Education I

This course is a minimum of one day per week for the duration of the semester. It is the first course in the series of education internships allowed for credit. EDUC7440 provides students with a structured, immersive field experience in a public or private PreK-12 educational setting. Designed to bridge theory and practice, the course enables students to apply their knowledge of pedagogy, curriculum, and instruction within authentic classroom environments. Fieldwork placements are carefully aligned with each student's professional goals and academic interests, fostering the integration of disciplinary knowledge with practical teaching experience. Through collaboration with the Office of Field Placement and Partnership, students are assigned to an educational site where they observe and actively participate in instructional and support activities. Students are mentored by experienced school-based educators and university supervisors. Internships must be approved one month before the beginning of the semester by the Office of Field and Partnership Outreach. Placements are a minimum of one day per week for the duration of the semester. This course cannot be repeated. Contact the Field Placement and Partnership Outreach at prac@bc.edu for more information.
