Psychology Teaching Internship
Are you interested in learning what goes on "behind the scenes" as professors plan courses and develop tests and assignments? Are you considering teaching as a career? Have you helped your friends succeed in tough courses? If so, you might be interested in Psychology 356 - Teaching Internship.
Undergraduate psychology or neuroscience majors with a minimum grade point average of 3.500 and permission of the instructor are eligible to enroll in P356. You will receive supervised experience assisting in an undergraduate course and attend a weekly discussion of good teaching practices. Students will complete a project related to the aims of the course in which they are assisting.
You can learn more by talking to your professors and advisors about what teaching assistants do and how you might benefit. Click here to submit an application to enroll in P356. Email questions about the teaching internship to Irene Vlachos-Weber.
You may want to consider applying for a Teaching Internship Grant. Grants last one semester and should provide the student with a faculty supervised teaching experience in a college level course. Internships should be designed to enable students to gain some teaching experience as well as familiarize them with the range of activities engaged in by college instructors. These grants are mainly for students who have an interest in becoming college or university faculty. The grant program is administered by the Hutton Honors College (though you do not have to be a member of the Honors College to be eligible). Up to $1000 Fall and Spring.
