The Kansas Internship Plan (KIP) allows beginning teachers opportunities to share plans and experiences with other interns, an element essentially intrinsic to support groups. Also, they have an opportunity to solve classroom problems while continuing to have the guidance and support of senior teachers and teacher education faculty. The program provides opportunities for beginning teachers to have a greater involvement in the total school program than they have had previously. Interns assume responsibility for teaching periods, supervisory tasks, extra-curricular activities, meetings, parent-teacher conferences, student evaluations and progress reports, and counseling sessions. This document provides information on the following elements of the KIP: (1) legal basis; (2) personnel qualifications, responsibilities and rights; (3) program operation; (4) role of state-approved teacher education institutions; (5) evaluation of the program; (6) plan of implementation; and (7) proposed budget.
