An \u201cinternship\u201d is the student teaching experience (or its equivalent) in teacher preparation programs, the full-time leadership experience in educational leadership programs, and the internship in school counselor and school psychology programs. Clinical experiences prior to the internship are not considered part of the internship (e.g., 100 clock hours of field experiences prior to student teaching are not part of the internship). Candidates must be supervised by program faculty and appropriately certified school personnel in the area of the certificate sought, according to the regulations and program requirements.<\/p>\n<p><strong>College Recommendation Required for Certification<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Candidates must have a College Recommendation in TEACH to receive the Internship certificate. They are eligible for the Internship certificate if they have completed at least 50% of the semester hour requirement for the program and meet any additional criteria set forth by their college or university.\u00a0 <em><strong>Note:\u00a0<\/strong>Eligibility for the Internship certificate is entirely at the discretion of the college or university.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The college or university could submit the institutional recommendation for this certificate for eligible candidates if they have:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Met the 50% semester hour requirement and any additional institutional criteria,<\/li>\n<li>Not completed the internship for their program, and<\/li>\n<li>Been hired by a school district or BOCES for their internship, as defined above (e.g., clinical experiences prior to the internship are not considered part of the internship).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Candidates need to apply and pay the fee for the Internship certificate. After they have applied, received the College Recommendation, and completed their fingerprint clearance, the certificate will automatically issue in the candidates\u2019 TEACH account.<\/p>\n<p>Since the Internship certificate enables candidates to work in New York State public schools during their internship experience, programs cannot enter the College Recommendation after the candidate has completed their internship.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Validity Period<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Internship certificate is valid for up to two years. If a candidate who holds the Internship certificate leaves the educator preparation program prior to graduating, the program should immediately send an email to the Office of Teaching Initiatives to provide the date on which the candidate left the program, which will become the expiration date of the certificate.<\/p>\n<p>After the candidate has successfully completed the educator preparation program, and the program has submitted the candidate\u2019s College Recommendation for the next level certificate (e.g., Initial and\/or Professional, Provisional and\/or Permanent), the Internship certificate is no longer valid.<\/p>\n<p>Should a time extension beyond two years of the issued Internship Certificate be necessary AND the candidate is still enrolled in the educator preparation program, the certificate can receive one three-year time extension. However, should the candidate leave the program or graduate, the time extension will expire.
