SDMC has created partnerships with regional colleges and universities to place and develop teacher interns.  Our interns develop close relationships with highly effective teachers who provide guidance, support, and timely feedback.  Interns can expect high levels of support as they begin their journey in the field of education, while being exposed to best practices and educational technology.

Contact the Human Resources department hr@manateeschools.net for information on Interns and Clinical Educator Training 

Internship Information

Colleges and Universities must have an approved affiliation agreement prior to placement. All levels of intern placements must be coordinated by the School District's Human Resources Department. No student interns or professors will contact school administrators directly for placement. No placement is forwarded directly to schools or content supervisors within our district by a college or university.

Clinical Educator Training

All teachers who host an intern must complete the updated Clinical Educator Training based on the NEW FLDOE standards.

Training is conducted in a flipped model (3 hours prior to class and 3 hours of class). Training is typically held in January, March, May, August, and October. Check the professional development offerings in the district's MyPGS course catalog for specifics on dates, times, and location.

Principal recommendation is required.
