What is the Intern/Mentor Program?
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 contribuing new knowledge to the field of study. The G/T resource teacher facilitates classroom and internship experiences, focusing on advanced-level reasearch methodologies and college-level writing and oral presentaions skills. At the mentor site, students apply the knowledge and skills they have learned in an authentic, professional environment.
