Internship for ITT Technical Institute
"I would like to discuss my internship with ITT Technical Institute., and what I hoped to gain from it. My degree will be in Adult and Continuing Education. My coursework has been interesting and now I can apply what I learned about Logical Design Models and the use of Course Rubrics. I was grateful to be offered the internship at ITT Technical Institute. ITT Technical Institute is a Nationally Accredited Institution of higher learning with two campuses located here in Oregon; I attended the Portland Oregon location.
Although my time spent on this internship would be considered short, 30 hours, I would have to say that in such a short time I was able to work with three talented instructors. The three instructors that I worked with were Mrs. Jennifer Berry; EG481 Environmental Issues, Mr. James Wallace; ET2560 Introduction to C Programming, and Mrs. Leanne Knox; MA3110 Statistics. The internship began on 4/11/2013 and ended on 5/16/2013. During this period of time I was able to see “Behind the Scenes” so to speak on how an institution of higher learning puts forth the curriculum that eventually makes it way to the students.
During the entire internship, I became aware of how important Logical Design Models and rubrics were in the education process. Interviewing each instructor on what the Logical Design Model actually looked like I was surprised to find areas of psychological influence. Each of the design models displayed an area of questions, such as, “how was everyone’s weekend” or if there was a student that was with child there were questions that covered areas such as “how far along are you?” or “are you hoping for a boy or a girl?” and other questions of interest. The rubrics were pretty cut and dry as to the expectations of what was required for the student to obtain maximum points per assignments over the length of the course.
I would have to say the one of the most important things that I learned during this internship was how these instructors were able to take a Logical design Model and rubric for their particular course and manipulate it and make it their own. Mrs. Berry was able to take the Environmental Issues Course and relate issues that were relevant to the Pacific Northwest. Mrs. Knox was able to bring statistical values also from the Pacific Northwest. Mr. Wallace was able to write working programming language that would be relevant to what’s happening within company’s here in the Pacific Northwest. It was an honor to work with them all. Special thanks to Robert Beavin; Dean of Students, for allowing this internship to take place.”
