Abstract
An internship, no matter in what kind of educational setting must encompass observation, inquiry, hands-on experiences, and a built relationship between the mentor and mentee. When this relationship is built, the administrative team can come together to create a vision that the school can and will reach. The day to day operations of the school will operate as normal and the professional staff puts students first. The school can look at data and as a school become transparent in the goals that have been set. When these are at the forefront of critical decision making, the school will then be able to make strides towards success.
