Options for Graduate School
Internships and Student
Teaching
Full-year internships
in a local school offered by some graduate programs are sometimes
paid positions. Typically, the school district where the internship
takes place provides the stipend. (See the University
of Pittsburgh's MAT Program for an example.) A temporary or intern
certificate may be required. Check with the college and the state
department of education for the prerequisites, such as testing, required
to receive the appropriate temporary certificate.
Certificate and
graduate programs that require a one semester student teaching experience
are rarely (if ever) paid positions.
Forgivable Loans
These loans are
repaid by working in geographic or academic subject areas that are
experiencing shortages of teachers. Typically, teaching positions
in these areas are not guaranteed and if a teaching position is not
available at the time of graduation, the loan must be repaid monetarily.
Forgivable loans are granted by individual states.
