After more than a year I am putting the ALT Internship idea back on the burner. With the reorganization of ALT into the new Professional Studies Department I'm hoping I can get something moving. I think that John and I were just too focused on other activities and couldn't get it actually done. I blame both of us but now is the time to try it again!
I've scheduled a meeting with Kent next week with the hope to get some movement, I'm guessing for Spring. We need that time to get the kinks worked out and to get it into the schedule.
We are looking at 3 types: teaching, instructional design and research. We had administrative and student services on the list but I don't know how to do the administrative and Nicky doesn't want a student services intern. I might revive the student services intern with the idea of helping me with SI and eTutoring but I think we'll start where we are with the 3 more basic ones.
We have descriptions of all three and we will need to complete a learning contract. I'd also like to be the instructor if at all possible. Maybe become adjunct in Prof Studies.
I truly hope this will work out because it will be beneficial for everyone, us AND the students.
