Training
On a weekly basis, the intern will receive a brief overview of what is expected for the week and their classroom's goal. They are given helpful methods to navigate issues from the week prior. Monday team meetings are mandatory and are crucial to effective communication and learning new skills. There will be contextualization of assigned tasks as well as set work goals to accomplish. Additionally, as the intern becomes more comfortable being in the classroom on their own, there will be frequent pop-ins from the supervisor to check in and oversee the intern's progress.

Learning Outcomes
By the end of the academic internship, the student will be able to organize plans to optimize elementary students' performance, demonstrate calm and effective management strategies in the classroom, and manage student social situations.
