Other Materials
The paired placement in itself may stand alone as a way to implement activities in an internship experience; however, it may be fostered and strengthened through the use of materials that can be developed in traditional methods courses. Those interested in materials that can be used during a methods course may use this website to learn more: https://cerac-methods.ua.edu/.
