Faculty Internship Program Details
The
intern-mentor pairs share one course each term during the fall, winter and spring
terms. The intern has increasingly significant teaching opportunities in fall and
winter term and is responsible for the majority of the spring term course. To get
a better feel for academic life, interns may elect to attend meetings with their
mentors and participate in special programs, such as those sponsored by the Teaching
Learning Center.
The Faculty Internship Program begins in late summer with several days of a seminar experience that include the college’s New Faculty Institute. Interns and mentors will attend two additional seminars in each of the three remaining terms. Seminars will cover such areas as effective teaching techniques, student learning styles, and navigating the waters of the application process.
Financial Rewards
During the summer, fall, and winter terms, Interns are given a stipend to offset the costs of transportation, books, child care, and the like. This will total $1,500. During spring term, the intern will be paid at the rate of PCC's adjunct faculty. In addition, if you're in a master's degree program or are completing a technical degree, PCC will reimburse you for up to $1,000 of tuition for fall, winter, and spring term (up to $3,000 for the 2008-2009 academic year).
