MCOE invites would-be teachers to explore internship program
The Mendocino County Office of Education (MCOE) and Lake County Office of Education ( LCOE) invite those interested in exploring a teaching career to attend one of the upcoming information sessions via Zoom: Oct. 5, 6, 12, 14 or 19 from 5 to 7 p.m.
MCOE and LCOE have collaborated to bring the “Be A Teacher” Intern Program to Lake and Mendocino counties, allowing teacher-interns to work full time while pursuing their teaching credential. Register online at TLCINFO2020. eventbrite.com.
In this two-year state-accredited intern program, interns are employed as teachers during the day and attend credential classes approximately two days a week in the evening while receiving ongoing coaching from an on- site mentor, course instructors, and practicum supervisors.
The program has been developed in partnership with the North Coast School of Education ( NCSOE) whose mission is to develop a workforce of teachers and school leaders who engage in research-based practices, understand the importance of preparing students for college and career readiness and have 21st-century skills to develop and implement innovative methods and ideas in the classroom and school.
NCSOE exemplifies the notion that learning is creative, rigorous, relevant, relationship- driven, and incorporates inquiry and reflection in ongoing professional growth.
