STANDARD 7: The internship provides significant opportunities for candidates
to synthesize and apply the knowledge and practice and develop the skills
identified in Standards 1-6 through substantial, sustained, standards-based
work in real settings, planned and guided cooperatively by the institution and
school district personnel for graduate credit. (p. 9)

A ssessment #4 is a required assessment that must demonstrate

that the candidates’ knowledge, skills, and dispositions
covering all six standards are applied effectively in the
internship/clinical practice. According to the ELCC website (2006),
possible assessments include “faculty evaluations of candidates’
performances, internship/clinical site supervisors’ evaluations of
candidates’ performances, and candidates’ formative and summative
logs and reflections” (p. 11). In addition, programs are also required to
submit a one-page description of how the internship/clinical
experiences were designed to meet ELCC Standard #7.
