2006-07 Large Grant awards
“Lesley @ Hillside Collaborative Internship Program”
Submitted by Michael Kascak, Principal, Hillside Elementary School
| Funding: $15,000 | |
This is a grant awarded to the Hillside School to begin a partnership with Lesley University to create an internship program bringing 5 graduate students who are enrolled in Lesley’s Accelerated Teacher Certification Program into the Hillside School for the 2007-2008 school year. Lesley University currently is partnered with several other school programs, Buckingham Brown & Nichols, The Shady Hill School, and the Brookline Public Schools. Hillside would become Lesley’s first suburban public site for the program. This internship program has the added potential of bringing a diverse group of teachers into the Hillside school. Additionally, Hillside teachers will have a unique opportunity for professional development through teaching and mentoring these interns. |
