The G/T Intern/Mentor Program is a college-level course in which students design an original research study or creative production. Students study off-campus with a professional mentor in a self-selected area of interest. Student research or creative production focuses on contributing new knowledge to the field of study.
The G/T Resource Teacher facilitates classroom and internship experiences, focusing on advanced-level research methodologies, college-level writing, and oral presentation skills. At the mentor site, students apply the knowledge and skills they have learned in an authentic, professional environment.
Students interested in one G/T elective credit spend five hours per week on site while students wishing to earn two credits spend ten hours per week on site. Interested students contact the G/T Resource Teacher to secure an application, schedule an interview, and provide names for teacher recommendations. Placement decisions are contingent upon the availability of mentors in the specific field of study.
