Stipulation 1: That within 30 days, the institution provide evidence for the Preliminary Multiple/Single Subject and Preliminary Education Specialist: Mild to Moderate Support Needs programs, Intern Precondition (5) Supervision of Interns (a): In all intern programs, the participating institutions in partnership with employing districts shall provide 144 hours of support and supervision annually and 45 hours of support and supervision specific to teaching English learners pursuant to California Code of Regulations §80033.
An intern support log has been created and is being implemented immediately. Of the five student interns, one intern working at a Marin Office of Education site and is tracking general and English language support hours through an existing copy of last year's log. The other four students were asked to provide their hours to date (retroactive) for this school year and shared with the ALO and the department chair. All five student intern logs have been linked below.
From here on, all interns will use this sheet to report and track the hours required, with the program directors monitoring deficits (i.e., red flags) in hours based on weekly, monthly, and semester time frames.

An intern sheet has been created and will be maintained by the accreditation liaison officer (ALO) in coordination with the field placement supervisor and the credential analyst. For 2023-24, Dominican has five (5) student interns across five (5) LEAs. Of the five interns, four are HNU transfers, which likely contributed to the lack of infrastructure within Dominican's processes because it had not been working with or overseeing student interns at any time in the past.
