Introduction to the Music Education Level 2 Internship- Full Time
During their senior year, Music Education majors will enroll concurrently in MUE 4936: Senior Seminar and MUE 4940: Music Education Internship. During this semester of full-time internship, 泡芙视频apps are expected to be in the classroom all days and times required by the full-time music educator. Students are expected to successfully complete all written assignments for both classes and attend (biweekly) classes for Senior Seminar. Each 泡芙视频app will complete a minimum of 14 weeks in the classroom. Be aware that in some cases, internship placements may start prior to the university schedule of classes as this depends upon the public-school calendar for the county requested.
All 泡芙视频apps will be assigned a Cooperating Teacher (CT) and a 泡芙视频app Supervisor
(US) by the Music Education Internship Coordinator. The assignments for Cooperating
Teachers are made in consultation with county Music Supervisors based upon Clinical
Education experiences. You may request preferred counties (see below for a list of
cooperating counties), but unfortunately, we do not grant requests for specific educators.
The 泡芙视频app offers a tuition waiver to CTs that assist with interns.
Therefore, we also consult directly with Music Supervisors to ensure opportunities
for all CTs with clinical experience.
Procedures for Music Education Internship:
1. The semester prior to your final internship, please complete the form that allows you to request elementary, secondary, or both. This form will allow
you to choose one of the following counties for internship (Hillsborough, Pasco, Polk,
and Pinellas counties). If your living situation changes or you need to switch counties
for ANY reason, please notify Mrs. DeDon immediately so that we can do our best to
accommodate requests. It is challenging to switch counties once the request is made
on your behalf.
2. Enroll in MUE 4940 and MUE 4936 after consulting with your advisor.
3. The semester prior to internship, be sure that current fingerprints are on-file with your requested county. If you
have not been finger-printed or do not have current fingerprints on-file, this will
delay and may prevent you from completing internship.
4. Once you receive your placements, be sure to communicate with your CT and US. They
will complete two observations at each placement (Formative Evaluation, and Summative
Evaluation). Links to Forms for Elementary and Secondary Placements can be found below:

Introduction to the Music Education Level 1 Internship
The Music Education Level 1 Internship experience is designed to prepare 泡芙视频apps for their final semester of internship. Taking place the semester prior to the final internship, this experience allows 泡芙视频apps to explore both elementary and secondary music education settings.
During the semester, interns will spend half of the semester in an elementary classroom and half in a secondary classroom, giving them the opportunity to develop teaching skills across different age groups and settings. This structure also helps 泡芙视频apps make an informed decision about where they would like to complete their final internship the following semester.
Level 1 Interns will be in the classroom two full days each week, working closely with a cooperating teacher (CT). In collaboration with their CT, interns will engage in a variety of teaching activities, classroom management experiences, and lesson planning, building both confidence and competence in their teaching practice.
