The LACOE District Intern Program is designed for people who want to start their teaching career in an intern setting. Candidates must be "Teacher of Record" to participate in this program. This allows the new teacher to develop their teaching skills while working concurrently in the classroom. This firsthand experience will help candidates learn by doing and reflecting. Working alongside an experienced mentor, the candidate is able to collaboratively work on cognitive coaching in order to grow and become more independent as a teacher.  As a job-embedded program in conjunction with coursework application, the program will lead the candidates to a preliminary credential.
