THE SCHOOL-BASED INTERNSHIP/ MASTER’S DEGREE OF EDUCATION
PROGRAM IN MODERATE DISABILITIES

COURSE WORK

Throughout the academic year, the Lesley University, The Carroll School, and Buckingham Browne & Nichols School, graduate students will work as teacher assistants in each of the two independent schools, providing a unique opportunity to apply theory and research directly to practice on a daily basis. Graduate students may elect to work with students in grades PreK-8, or, our newest offering, with students in grades 5-12.

Upon successful completion of all of the program requirements, students graduate from Lesley University with a Master's Degree of Education leading to Initial Licensure in Massachusetts in Moderate Disabilities. This intensive fourteen-month program starts in early June and ends the following summer. During each of the two summers, the graduate students take two or three courses at Lesley University. During the academic year, most courses occur after school at either The Carroll School or Buckingham Browne & Nichols School.

The strength of the program is the unique and invaluable opportunity that graduate students have to work with mentor teachers at each of the two schools. Each day, students spend the entire day in school classrooms, one term at The Carroll School and one term at Buckingham Browne & Nichols School.

If you are interested in the School-Based Internship Program, please call the Director of either program to schedule a school visit and interview.
