1. Policy Statement
Increasingly, departments and schools in higher education
institutions are requesting
Extension's cooperation in providing intern-type experiences for
their students. Extension
Administration is supportive of these efforts. If properly
planned and supervised, these programs
are mutually beneficial to Extension and the students.
In the interest of coordination and balance of work loads
among county staffs, the following
administrative policies and procedures for handling these
requests have been established:
1.1.
All requests for Extension's cooperation in providing
internship or practicum experiences
(similar to practice teaching) are to be directed to state-level
administration, through District
Extension Directors. After working out satisfactory arrangements
with students' academic
departments or schools, state administrators will then work
through District Extension Directors
in locating host counties for the students.
1.2. Requests for relatively short-term experiences for
purposes of observing or conferring
with agents to gain a general understanding of Extension's
approach may be handled by the
County Extension Director and appropriate agents, upon
consultation with District Extension
Director.
