The Internship Plan is a brief, but specific, document indicating your overall approach to the Internship Program. Within this document, you will briefly identify the areas of activities you will approach and indicate which of the ten TExES Superintendent Competencies and Quality Indicators are used with each. You will also provide a brief description of the activities, your resource person to be used, and estimated completion date for the entire plan. As always, this is a living document and subject to update and change.

District action research plan – Students may wish to add an action research plan to their Superintendent Intern Plan. You may use the two Action Research templates (School or Professional Improvement – SIP/PIP) Template, also located in your Resource Section. The action research is not a mandate, but we do encourage you to participate in district or campus initiatives that are part of your District or Campus Improvement Plan(s). You will be asked to report on your School Improvement Recommendations in your final course, EDLD 5399.
