Educator Externship Report Content

 

Upon completion of a funded Externship/Job Shadowing program, all participants are required to answer the following questions (report is limited to a maximum of five pages).  

  • Summarize your experience during the externship.  Please provide some highlights of your experience and areas that could be improved.
  • Based on your externship experience, please describe how you will modify your curriculum, or what activity you will create and present to your students for one or more courses to be offered in the Fall semester.  
  • ​Would you participate in a similar externship/job shadow program in the future?  (If yes/no, why or why not?)  How can we improve this program in the future?

Outcomes: Once classroom content is complete, faculty should submit a demonstration and written description of how they have integrated what they learned into the classroom. 

Dissemination: Faculty is also encouraged to share new materials and discuss their experiences with other faculty during FLEX day activities, faculty workgroups through regional initiatives, and at on-campus Industry Spotlights.
