Program Overview
The standard intern teaching option is an alternative teacher certification program, approved by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC). This teacher preparation program provides students in their internship year the necessary coursework and instruction allowing them to work toward their preliminary California teaching credential or certificate, all while working as a paid teacher in a school. All other coursework and assignments required for successful completion of the student teacher program are done online through Alliant International University.
Under the standard intern option, teacher interns gain field experience and assume immediate and full teaching and classroom management responsibilities. While working under this teaching internship credential, students receive mentorship and support through a minimum of three (3) classroom observations and coaching sessions conducted by a designated Alliant field supervisor each term.
Please note: Candidates of the online teaching intern program are responsible for finding and securing an approved intern teaching position; private schools are not state-eligible to host intern teachers.
