Faculty Supervisor Responsibilities

The Faculty Supervisor is expected to provide support regarding the academic component of the internship. This includes:

1. Assisting the student in developing their learning goals. Learning goals can focus on:

   • Putting academic theory into practice

   • Developing their career readiness competencies

   • Gaining career-specific skills
     
     We use Internship Contract 2: Learning Objectives & Competencies to capture this specific information. Please note that this is not a required component. It's up to the Faculty Supervisor whether they want the student to complete this contract or not. Some faculty members use it and others don't. It serves the purpose of getting those goals down "on paper".
      

2. Determining course assignments can be whatever you want them to be. Contract 1 provides a list of assignments to choose from, however, it is entirely up to the Faculty to determine which would be best to fulfill the academic component of the internship program.

3. Signing the internship contract, indicating your conviction that the internship, as described, can provide a meaningful and pertinent learning experience for this student, based on their needs and goals.

4. Engaging with the student and site supervisor throughout the internship.

5. Assigning a letter grade based on the student's engagement with their internship and internship course, the site supervisor’s evaluation, completion of contracted hours, and any additional required projects.
