Internship Seminar in School
Administration and Supervision
This seminar is designed to provide an opportunity for interns to
supplement and reinforce their own field experiences under the
supervision of highly qualified, experienced school administrators,
both from the University faculty and school systems.
The internship – a requirement for all graduate-degree and
professional-diploma programs in Administration and Supervision –
may be partially waived only in instances of persons having served
in a bonafide full-time administrative or supervisory position.
Detailed documentation from the appropriate Board of Education will
be the basis for consideration of waiving three of the total six
credit hours. Successful completion of the University's supervised
internship program enables individuals to meet the New York State
internship requirement for certification as School Administrator
and Supervisor and School District Administrator.
Graduate Literacy Program - Dyslexia
By definition, dyslexia includes inadequate word recognition
and reading comprehension, associated with difficulties in
spelling, writing and spoken language. Today, an estimated 50% of
children in our schools have some degree of dyslexia.
St. John’s University’s Graduate Literacy Program now offers
training in the Orton-Gillingham Multisensory Approach to Language
Learning by a certified Fellow of the Orton-Gillingham Academy of
Practitioners and Educators. The two 3-credit graduate courses and
supervised practicum provide the initial training at the Associate
Level. This coursework and practicum will enable teachers to begin
utilizing the multisensory approach to language learning with their
students.
