You must have a variety of substantive leadership, administrative, and supervisory experiences in diverse settings during the two years of the internship. The operational words in this statement are variety, substantive, and diverse. You must attend closely to each in your internship.
Variety is demonstrated by the different leadership, administrative, and supervisory experiences that you have in the internship. The objectives have been developed to guide you into experiences where you will take leadership and followership roles, perform administrative-managerial tasks, and lead projects involving others. The objectives are classified in Table 1 by NPBEA/ELCC standard element. You will note that the objectives include all of the standard elements and include the essential aspects of the everyday work of administrators and supervisors. Your mentor and you may develop additional objectives or revise these objectives to meet the related standards or elements and to assure that you are participating in a variety of learning experiences across the areas of administration and supervision.

You will be under continual assessment by your mentor and campus supervisor. As you develop confidence, ability, and willingness to perform, the tasks that you will be asked to do will increase in number and complexity. So, be prepared to take on additional work when you are requested to do so. It is part of the internship experience. Referencing Table 1 from time to time will help you to keep track of the work that you are doing and will provide assurance to you that you are covering the range of tasks in administrative and supervisory positions.
