Clinical Internship

The culminating clinical practice experience in some settings; can be of varying duration but no less than one university semester. During the clinical internship teacher candidates assume full responsibility for a pedagogical assignment under the coaching of school- and university-based teacher educators (AACTE ÒLexicon of Practice,Ó 2017). [NOTE: In CAEP practice, which includes providers that are not located in either colleges or universities, there may be wider variation in the clinical internship duration and when it occurs. Some EPPs have multiple clinical experiences or are entirely clinically based, while others may have less than a ÒsemesterÓ duration.]
