The Administrative Internship: Site and Supervisor Selection.
Gorton, Richard A.
The focus of this study was on determining: (1) the extent to which departments of school administration and supervision that are members of the University Council for Educational Administration (UCEA) have formulated criteria for selecting appropriate sites for administrative internships and for onsite supervisors for administrative internships; (2) the process used in applying those criteria; and (3) the nature of the selection criteria and process. A total of 38 institutions (79 percent of the UCEA institutions) provided useable information about the selection criteria and process. Content analysis was used to examine the data received from the institutions. Only 7 institutions provided evidence of formal criteria, 7 stated that they were using some type of informal criteria, and 24 reported no criteria whatsoever for the selection of sites for internships. A total of 30 institutions did not identify any criteria that they were using for the express purpose of selecting appropriate onsite supervisors, 6 had formal criteria, and 2 had informal criteria. The appendixes contain copies of the inquiry used in the initial request and the followup letter and separate proposals for the selection of possible internship sites and onsite supervisors. (MLF)
