Internships
California offers a variety of internships that allow individuals to be the teacher of record, or to serve as a counselor or administrator, while completing an organized professional preparation program. University internships are cooperative teaching, counseling, school psychology, and administrative programs between a university and an employing school district that are administered by the university. District internships are for teachers only and are administered by employing school districts whose programs may or may not involve university course work. Completion of an internship program results in the issuance of a preliminary or professional clear credential.
