Internships serve as the bridge that spans the divide between being a teacher and an administrator. Most research on internships has emphasized the technical aspects of this experience, such as benefits and limitations of internships. The overall impact an internship experience has on an intern has been studied less extensively. This research study probes interns’ beliefs, assumptions, and perceptions about administrative or leadership positions to determine how these change as a result of the internship experience. Researchers analyzed sections of interns’ monthly journals, which had been submitted six times during their two-semester internship. Four major themes emerged from the content analysis of interns’ journals: Vision for the Internship/Career, Communication, Relationship with Faculty, and Relationship with Administration. A major finding was the strength and pervasiveness of the negative tone. The researchers were surprised how often the interns described an oppositional culture. One implication is to improve training in communication, organizational theory, and implementation of change/improvement processes for administrative interns. Today’s environment of accountability places significant demands on novice administrators, which should compel us to strengthen the internship experience.

[Expand Summary]
Even after decades of use, designing and implementing worthwhile educational administrative internships remains a work in progress. What appears to be a logical conclusion that this experience would enhance the training of aspiring building leaders defies the gathering of definitive empirical evidence. The quest to validate what constitutes a successful internship experience intensified in the 1980s when research affirmed the positive relationship between effective school leadership and school performance. The research results contained in this study attempt to provide information that will lead to the improvement of internship experiences for aspiring school administrators. In order to accomplish this purpose, current building principals in Indiana were surveyed regarding their internship experiences in the areas of program structure, components of the internship, time requirements, and recommendations for improvement. This research is a replication of a 2009 study, Improving Administrative Internship Programs: Perceptions of Illinois Principals, authored by Thomas Kersten, Margaret Trybus, and Daniel White. The differences and similarities found in the comparison studies are discussed in the Summary and Conclusions.
