EDU 493: WHIP School Internship

This course pairs remote participation in the once-weekly seminar of EDU 401 with a WHIP internship or apprenticeship at a classical school in the DC area. The seminar investigates the practicalities of teaching and will include topics such as classroom management, parent relations, lesson planning, and assessment, drawing on the wisdom of both traditional and contemporary practices.

To receive credit for EDU 493, students must complete EDU 360 prior to the EDU 493 semester and receive permission from the Education Department chair. Students who are pursuing the Classical Education minor and who successfully complete EDU 493 may count 1 of their 6 course credits toward the fulfillment of the EDU 401 requirement. The other 5 credits of EDU 493 may count as elective credits toward the Classical Education minor.
