Description
The internship consists of two parts.
Part one
In the first block, students will complete an internship for 5 ects. This internship will consist of a series of practical experiences to familiarize the students with the ‘sociale kaart’. Students will be required to visit schools and interview ‘zorg-coördinatoren’ in those schools about the nature of their work. Students will make a list of external ‘instellingen’ that work with the schools to address the problems experienced by students. Finally, a panel session will be organized in which ‘zorg-coördinatoren’ from various schools are invited to come to the University and discuss various issues with the students.
Part two
During the second part of the internship (10 ects, block 2 and 3) students will gain practical experience as an internal ‘begeleider’ ( zorgcoördinator) within a secondary school setting. The focus will be on the following: identifying the types of problems addressed by ‘begeleiders’ in the school; determining whether the problems should be addressed within the school or with help from outside sources; implementing a process for analyzing the problems and formulating potential solutions to the problems; creating a data base of possible intervention approaches for learning and behavior problems presented by secondary-school students; working with school personnel to implement the intervention program; collecting data to determine the effectiveness of the intervention program. Students will also reflect upon and discuss their experiences.
