Those who seek to work with families and children in the community need to be aware of national and state best practices in improving and enhancing the quality of life for families and children. Students will be embedded in an organization that seeks to improve the quality of life for families and children. This internship will be a minimum of 120 hours over the course of the semester. Students will be responsible for documenting their experiences throughout the semester and reporting on their overall experience through a context paper, reflective journaling, an end-term self-analysis of the success of the project, and in the final poster. Content will vary dependent on organization where student conducts the internship.
Each student will be responsible for developing learning objectives for their specific internship site. These objectives will be submitted for approval at the beginning of the internship experience and will be visited throughout the semester with the faculty supervisor.
