Lab School Internship Program Starts
College students interested in teaching careers began working in lab school classrooms last week. They're part of a program to give young adults hands-on experience and guidance related to teaching. The interns are mentored by lab school teachers and, in addition to working with children, attend seminars exploring theories and issues in education. Some participants are enrolled in Education 196, a UCLA course offered to undergraduate students. Others are part of CA Teach, a program administered by the state of California to develop highly qualified science and math teachers to work in schools throughout the state.
Early Childhood students learned about the art and science of patterns when they created Fingerprint Art. Check out their work.
UCLA Lab School was previously known as Corinne A. Seeds University Elementary School (UES). The name was changed in March 2009 to better convey our purpose as a laboratory for research and innovation in education.
