Spring PS III students placed in a school whose semester starts late January or early February may not be finished their internship by the end of the Spring semester. As a result, they may not be eligible for Spring graduation if it is their final semester. Those students would also be unable to take Summer Session I courses. (See PS III Student Information Form Instructions for details on internship types.)

Specialization or Special Focus Internships
Div. III & IV choices are only available to students approved for the International Education or Special/Inclusive Education "Specialization" Internships, and those approved for Out of Zone or International location placements.
Select your first choice. Spring PS III students placed in a school whose semester starts late January or early February may not be finished their internship by the end of the Spring semester.

SECTION III: PLACEMENT COMPETENCY/ BEST FIT INFORMATION
If you have a completed teachable Minor, please check the respective box below. This information may be used to identify a suitable internship placement for you.
Additional Competencies
Often, schools are not able to provide you with full time instruction in your major. In such cases, we will need to place you with a teacher who instructs multiple subjects, classrooms, or in some cases with two teachers. In an effort to make the best match available, please indicate subjects (and grade levels) that you would feel comfortable instructing.
Keep in mind the division preferences you indicated in Section II when providing this information.

If more than one, indicate your preferences in order of importance. Please note that PS III students are not reimbursed for travel, nor are accommodations made, or monies provided for students choosing to billet for PS III internships.
