Interns
This page is designed to outline the extensive process of becoming an intern.
Please read through this page thoroughly if you are interested in becoming an intern. If you are trying to sign up for the Mandatory Intern Institute, please scroll down to the end of the page.
The Collaborative Intern Program is a joint project between the Department of Special Education at San Jose State University and local school districts, non-public schools and County Offices of Education. It is designed to give students the opportunity to teach and gain hands-on experience while pursuing a credential at SJSU.
In order to become an intern, you must
1) be admitted to SJSU and the Department of Special Education (please apply via the same route as listed on the How To Apply page)
2) have a job offer
3) turn in the Intern Documents as requested by the Department of Special Education.
If your documents are sufficient and you are approved for the intern option, you will need to apply for your INTERN CREDENTIAL immediately with the Credentials Office. Please visit the Credentials Office to the checklist in order to obtain your intern credential. Your Intern Agreement Form is the only item on the checklist that is picked up from the Special Education Office.
4) attend the Summer Intern Institute. This is a week-long seminar designed to prepare students for success in their first semester as an Intern.
Following approval of your intern credential, please do the following:
1) Submit a copy of your intern credential to the Department of Special Education.
2) You should have or will receive a permission code to enroll in EDSE 105. Be sure to register for this class.
