Intern Handbook & Forms

Interns at Lehman College are School of Education graduate students who are employed as a Teacher of Record, working in a classroom that matches her/his NYSED Certification content area and grade. An experienced teacher or supervisor in the Intern's school will be asked to be the on-site mentor. The Intern will be assigned a Lehman College Faculty Supervisor who will observe her/his teaching performance and consult with the on-site mentor about strengths, weaknesses, and means of improvement. Interns are required to attend weekly seminars and to demonstrate field experience outcomes.
