 ** Week 3 Assignment: Developing and Designing Your Intern Plan ** ** Overview ** During the last two weeks you have been completing assessments, reviewing your vita, planning and conducting an interview with your Superintendent or other district leader. All of these assignments have been designed to help you prepare for your development of a comprehensive intern plan. This week’s major assignment will be your development of your Comprehensive Intern Plan described in Week One’s Assignment. We also recommend that you consider using the Action Research Templates (School or Professional Improvement Projects – SIP/PIP template) or Tool 7.1 Action Planning Template. You may also wish to use the district improvement plan as another source for planning your Intern Plan. Remember the Intern Plan covering the 3 Superintendent Domains, 10 Competencies, and the 38 activities from the // School Leader Internship //text. Remember, all of the templates are located in your course Resource Section. ** We have included the recommendation to include items from your District Improvement Plan or from the action research templates because you will be required to complete a reflection in EDLD 5399, your Capstone Superintendent Internship/Practicum course, describing district improvement projects you will be helping to implement during your internship. **  __Learning and Performance Outcomes: __ 1. Assess personal leadership strengths and needs, using the SBEC Superintendent Competencies Self-Assessment in order to develop a plan of action that addresses the knowledge and skills needed to be an effective leader. 2. Complete the TExES Superintendent Practice test using the TExES Preparation Manual – Superintendent located in the Resource section of the course, assess your competency proficiency, and use the results in developing your Superintendent Intern plan. 3. Create and interact on a blog and Wiki. 4. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;">Create an account and use the TK20 Electronic Portfolio – this performance outcome is dependent on the completion of TK 20 planning with Lamar University. <span style="margin: 5pt 0in 5pt 29.25pt; tab-stops: list 29.25pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;">5. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;">Begin to develop and initiate an Internship Plan that addresses all of the TExES Superintendent and ELCC competencies and quality indicators. <span style="color: #be151d; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> <span style="color: #be151d; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> <span style="color: #be151d; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> <span style="color: #be151d; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> <span style="color: #be151d; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> <span style="color: #be151d; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> <span style="color: #be151d; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">

Your purpose is to make a list of general or specific skills or knowledge areas that you want to further develop during the internship. <span style="margin: 5pt 0in 5pt 1in; mso-list: l0 level2 lfo1; tab-stops: list 1.0in; text-indent: -0.25in;"> o <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;">SBEC Self-Assessment (completed in Week One) <span style="margin: 5pt 0in 5pt 1in; mso-list: l0 level2 lfo1; tab-stops: list 1.0in; text-indent: -0.25in;"> o <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;">SBEC Practice Superintendent Exam and Assessment Analysis (also Week One) <span style="margin: 5pt 0in 5pt 1in; mso-list: l0 level2 lfo1; tab-stops: list 1.0in; text-indent: -0.25in;"> o <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;">Application of Leadership Experience – reviewing your leadership experiences coming into the program (Week Two assignment) <span style="margin: 5pt 0in 5pt 1in; mso-list: l0 level2 lfo1; tab-stops: list 1.0in; text-indent: -0.25in;"> o <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;">Gaps in Vita: Note any gaps in vita categories, particularly Leadership Experience (Week Two assignment) <span style="margin: 5pt 0in 5pt 1in; mso-list: l0 level2 lfo1; tab-stops: list 1.0in; text-indent: -0.25in;"> o <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;">Interviews: Note any relevant suggestions from interview lecture or your district leader/Superintendent interview – pay particular attention to those interview responses addressing Superintendent competencies (Week Two assignment) <span style="margin: 5pt 0in 5pt 1in; mso-list: l0 level2 lfo1; tab-stops: list 1.0in; text-indent: -0.25in;"> o <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;">Blog Comments and Wiki Resources – be sure to include technology integration and application in your intern plan <span style="margin: 5pt 0in 5pt 1in; mso-list: l0 level2 lfo1; tab-stops: list 1.0in; text-indent: -0.25in;"> o <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;">Needs of the District (District Improvement Plan including vision, goals, Improvement Plan, Etc.): Note any needs you should or will address during your internship. This is an area where you will want advice from the site supervisor or other members of the district leadership team. <span style="margin: 5pt 0in 5pt 1in; mso-list: l0 level2 lfo1; tab-stops: list 1.0in; text-indent: -0.25in;"> o <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;">Improvement Project(s): You will be expected to help lead one or more projects – these may be campus improvement projects that you will need to demonstrate as contributing to district improvement. This is another area to seek advice from the site supervisor(s) or other district leaders. We have provided the School or Professional Improvement Project Template or Action Planning Template Tool 7.1 in the Resource section to help you formulate your improvement project(s). <span style="margin: 5pt 0in 5pt 1in; mso-list: l0 level2 lfo1; tab-stops: list 1.0in; text-indent: -0.25in;"> o <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;">General Leadership Areas: If you listed any general areas from above and are uncertain about a specific activity or activities, discuss with your site supervisor. <span style="margin: 5pt 0in 5pt 0.5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in; text-indent: -0.25in;"> · ** <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;">Organizing the Internship Plan: **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;"> The details of the organization plan are outlined below. The basic assignment requires you to outline activities in your plan that will assist you in acquiring knowledge and skills needed to become competent in addressing and practicing the ten TExES Superintendent competencies. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;">The Internship Plan should be organized according to the ten SBEC Superintendent competencies. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;">Under the ten competencies listed below, you will find a total of 38 skill areas, with a notation of the page(s) in the // School Leader Internship // text relating to each skill area. The text describes the skills, and provides examples of activities you might include in your plan. While the list of activities described is not exhaustive, it will provide good suggestions and a model to follow. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;">At the bottom of the list of sample activities is an activity called “Other.” If you choose not to include a listed activity from the text, you may write in another related activity. “Other” related activities are typically chosen according to school needs, goals, and differing opportunities. Your site supervisor should assist in choosing “Other” activities. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;">In some cases, embedded intern hours from the Superintendent courses will address the three Domains and ten competencies. The minimum of 140 hours in the three following domains in your intern plan is over and above the hours of embedded intern hours from other courses. Embedded intern hours required in other courses will be approximately 140 hours. Thus, the internship should conclude with at least 280 hours. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;">You are advised to plan for at least one activity in each of the 38 skill areas found in the text, under Plan, pages 19 – 68. Carefully review the 38 leadership skill areas and pencil in a check mark on any activity/activities (or “Other”) in your text prior to meeting with your site supervisor and completing your internship plan. The following correlation of the 38 skill areas and the 10 Superintendent competencies are an analysis provided by the professors. Some of the 38 skill areas will apply to more than one competency, although the list below may not identify the overlapping skill areas. You should feel free to design your plan as needed, but as recommended, be sure to cover all 10 competencies, and try to have at least one activity for each of the 38 leadership skill areas. **//<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;">Use this chart to make a list of general or specific skills that you want to develop during the internship. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;">Please refer to the assignments you have completed in preparation for developing your intern plan. The assignments are listed in the first column. The second column asks you to identify the knowledge and skills you need to include in your intern plan based on your preparation and assessments. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;">In your Resources folder, there is a Word file titled “Internship Plan Template.” Use the chart on that file to create the draft of your Internship Plan. From the Resources folder, double-click on the Word file “Internship Plan Template.” Immediately save the file to your desktop, naming it “// YourName //--Draft Internship Plan.” We also ask that you place your Draft Internship Plan on your Wiki. This will allow your peers to view your intern plan and provide opportunities for them to provide positive feedback and constructive comments for possible improvement. ** <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;">Sample of the Intern Plan Template is provided below. Remember, when you complete your intern plan, you will need to cover all 10 Superintendent Competencies (see column 2) and at least 38 leadership skill areas (see column 1). Column 3 will provide a description of the activity you identified in Column 1. The activity should be measurable, like an objective or outcome. **
