GOALS
The ASP intern program seeks college students who have completed their sophomore year and who want to grow as young professionals. Even if the intern is not thinking about being a career educator, they should show a genuine interest in educating and mentoring motivated and talented high school students. Interns will be mentored by the major course teacher and dorm supervisor who they are assisting, and they will be expected to engage with students not only in the classroom, but also in the recreation period, the evening programs, and the dormitory. Interns will not only leave with a better understanding of the science and craft of teaching, a skill needed to be successful in any profession, but also a stronger sense of themselves and their own direction as they take the next big step in their lives after completing college.

EXPECTATIONS

● Class time. Interns will be asked to support the teacher and students in a variety of ways which will include assistance on in-class projects, curriculum planning, and teaching parts of the course.
● Mentee & Mentor relationship. The major course teacher and intern will have at least one check-in each week to discuss growth, goals, classroom engagement opportunities, and course planning.
● Student Feedback. Each student can expect to receive meaningful feedback on at least one assessment per week over the course of five weeks in which the intern will assist the teacher.
● Evaluations. At the end of the program, Major Course teachers, with the help of interns, write extended narrative evaluations (of approx. 1 page). Major Course teachers will write extended evaluations of interns as well. Interns will fill out evaluation forms for their teacher.
● Office Hours. Requirements regarding teacher and intern availability outside of class hours will vary by course.
● Afternoon activities. Interns will be assigned a different rec activity for 2-3 hours during the weekday afternoons during which they will be expected to create and supervise engaging activities under the guidance of the Athletic Director.
● Evening activities and study hours. On most evenings, interns will be expected to have a presence either in the dorm, in a classroom building or at the library to help support students with projects and/or activities.
● Dormitory living. During orientation, interns will meet with their house supervisor to discuss the expectations of dorm advising and duty. Throughout the summer, interns will participate in dorm meetings, oversee student safety while on duty, and help support residents throughout the program. Interns will be on dorm duty at least one night a week and will be expected to help coordinate activities on Saturday evenings.
● Dorm & Weekend Duties: Interns will be expected to be on duty 2-3 nights each week (this also includes Saturday evenings) when they will provide academic support during study hours and have a presence in the dorm during check-in and lights out. Interns should also expect to be on duty most Saturday nights where they will oversee the weekend activities on campus. These are hours of the day when students will need both academic and emotional support.
● Additional ASP Obligations. As the ASP student experience is 100% residential, ASP interns are also asked to meet a handful of obligations outside of their classroom responsibilities. Required events include, but are not limited to: First Night Service, All-School meeting, daily Chapel (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday mornings at 8:15 am), weekly faculty meetings, Last Night Service and Graduation.
● ASP Drug & Alcohol policy. St. Paul's School has adopted a policy prohibiting the following conduct: possessing, using, consuming, purchasing, distributing, manufacturing, dispensing or selling alcohol or controlled substances, or being under the influence of such substances, during work hours, or while on School business, on duty, or on paid call. Illegal drugs are not to be brought onto, distributed in, or consumed anywhere on School property. Faculty are also expected to refrain from alcohol consumption when in the presence of students or when scheduled to meet with students. ASP interns are in a unique situation, living and working particularly closely with students. For this reason, even those interns who are of-age are not permitted to drink or use tobacco products while the ASP is in session. If the School has reasonable suspicion based upon information, appearance or behavior indicating that a faculty member may have engaged in conduct in violation of this policy and/or may be impaired by drugs or alcohol, the faculty member may be sent for testing. The School reserves the right to immediately suspend and/ or terminate any member of the faculty (including interns) from service in the event of the refusal to submit to a drug or alcohol test when requested because of reasonable suspicion.
● Safe School Zone policy. The grounds of St. Paul's School are part of a "Safe School Zone". This includes all school buildings, faculty residences, and school property. As such, the unauthorized possession of a weapon or the unlawful manufacture, distribution, possession, or use of a controlled substance in or on any premises or property owned or controlled by the School is prohibited.
● Professional boundaries. Both the intern and major course instructors are required to maintain professional boundaries in their interactions with all members of the ASP community. Mandatory boundary training will be provided to all ASP staff and faculty.
