Internship
Placement Process
Resume for a Prospective Mentor Teacher
As part of the
internship placement process, district administrators, principals
and prospective mentor teachers want to look at your resume and
learn something about you as a teacher. This gives you an
opportunity to tell them something about yourself and gives them a
chance to decide if they would like to place you as a teacher
intern.
You are expected
to prepare a resume to facilitate this part of the placement
process. Guidelines for a resume are attached. If you already
have a resume, you can revise it if necessary so that it
emphasizes your education related experiences.
Please follow
these guidelines:
-
Do the resume
on a word processor.
-
Save it
for future use in editing and making corrections.
-
You must
use the enclosed format.
-
Limit your
resume to one or two pages (can be printed 1-sided or
2-sided).
-
A size 12
font is recommended.
-
Choose one
format for dates (May, 2004 or May 2004) and use it
throughout your resume.
-
Be
consistent with your formatting and spacing.
-
Spelling and
grammar must be correct. Do not just use a spell check
on your work. Proofread the resume yourself. Then have
someone else read it. Principals and mentor teachers often
reject you as a prospective intern if your materials contain
spelling or grammatical errors.
The resume is
due by Monday, November 22, 2004. Put it in the box
labeled Resumes in 347 Erickson Hall. Turn in one clean
copy to be read. The resume will be returned to you in
January so you can add your TE402 field placement and make any
revisions or corrections. You will have one week from the time
you are notified to make revisions. Failure to do so in a
timely fashion will delay your placement. It is important that
you check email every day since all notifications will be
sent via your MSU email account.
Once a possible
placement is identified, you will be notified as to the next
step. Many mentor teachers also want you to spend some time in
their classroom before school dismisses for the summer. This will
help you and your mentor teacher get started on making plans for
your internship year. We hope to have placements confirmed by
the end of April. Do not contact any
school prior to notification of your placement.
If you have any
questions about any part of this process, be sure to contact Kathy
