Teaching Internship
Part-time, ten-month internship
with stipend is offered for current or recent graduate or undergraduate students
interested in pursuing a career
in education with academic or professional credentials in an accredited education

will lead a high-energy classroom. They will be responsible for developing and executing a regular schedule
and all activities/projects for a group of same-age students, from Nursery through Grade Five.
Interns should expect to apply many facets of their pedagogical, developmental, curricular, and behavioral training.
Interns will gain experience as they collaborate with Lab School faculty, develop relationships with parents,
