The MAT Internship is a full-time, one-semester commitment.  The intern is placed in a school with a cooperating teacher who has agreed to serve as host for the experience.  The exact dates for beginning and ending the internship will be worked out with the intern, the cooperating teacher and the WCU supervisor.  Ideally, the intern will know the placement in advance and will be able to spend some time observing the cooperating teacher and other teachers in the same school prior to beginning.  Details about intern responsibilities are given on the internship information packet

Neither the State of North Carolina nor Western Carolina University will be responsible for providing legal defense for any professional education candidate or for paying for any judgment which may be entered against the accused; therefore, the College of Education and Allied Professions strongly encourages all professional education candidates to purchase professional liability insurance.

I have read all the materials, including the catalog under which I entered WCU, concerning the policies and procedures for eligibility and admission to internship. I understand my responsibilities related to admission and completion of the internship program. Should I withdraw from, or fail, any required course, I understand that I am not eligible for the internship program and that I will be withdrawn from placement.
