EDAD5504 Athletic Director Internship
The Athletic Director internship experience provides substantial, sustained, standards-based opportunities for leadership candidates to apply leadership competencies in real settings. During the internship, the leadership intern is supported by the college internship supervisor and the cooperating administrator. Bi-monthly seminars provide an opportunity for leadership interns to discuss their experiences, to relate them to best practices and theory, and to offer support and suggestions to one another. Students will complete a minimum of 300 hours in a public or non-public school setting, in a project involved with physical education and the athletic directorship. Students in full-time employment should be able to complete this requirement in their own schools or districts by arranging a special schedule with their principal, athletic director and/or superintendent.
