International Alternative Practicum – Are you interested in potentially completing your alternative practicum at one of our partner schools? Please research each school thoroughly to determine which schools you are interested in. Some important considerations include but are not limited to:
- Does the school offer programming that matches the learning goals of your alternative practicum?
- Are you interested/ willing to travel to where the school is?
When you have completed your research and narrowed your search down (approximately 2-3 schools), please prepare some information about yourself and your practicum goals/ interests that can be shared with the school.
When you have prepared your information and are ready to contact a school please reach out to Administrative Assistant Mingshan Gu. Please detail for Mingshan which schools you are interested in approaching and provide your details and FOCI information. Do not contact schools without first connecting with Mingshan.
