These observations will be the basis of your final paper.  Determine whether or not you would like to work in this area! 13

 You represent the School and the University!  Dress, speak, and behave like adults!  Be on time!  Ask your site supervisor about the norms of the agency and then go above and beyond!  If you goof around, then you will damage the relationships we have with internship sites so no goofing around! 14

 Confidentiality – Do not reveal the identity of clients or any information that would uncover their identity without written permission form the client.  Competency – Know and acknowledge the limitations of your abilities to assist clients/the public. › Accept that some situations are beyond your experience so seek assistance from your site supervisor and/or staff personnel. 15

 Corruption – Interns must not become involved in any illegal operations, activities, or any violation of laws.  Respect Clients - Interns are obligated to treat all clients with dignity, respect, and equality.  Integrity - You may see unethical or illegal activities as you intern; they may be realities in the organization, but you should not condone or accept them. 16

21 While at your internship site, you are an observer and student first and a “worker” second!

 The minute you enter your internship site, you take on the role of a participant-observer  A participant-observer is someone who works in and studies a particular environment, the people, and events within that environment.  You are a participant observer first and an employee second.  You should observe and study your surroundings, the people, and the activities that are occurring objectively.  Leave your biases and assumptions at home! 22

 You will be required to keep and submit weekly journal entries.  The journal entries will be graded and will be worth about 30% of your final grade.  Pay attention to the rubric!  Journal entries are the expanded notes based on your field notes (short notes) that you take at the internship site.  Set aside time every week to review, organize, and expand your field notes. You should do this as soon as possible after each shift.  Each journal entry should be at least 3 pages in length 23

 Journal entries should include: › Date and time of activities › Detailed descriptions of people, place, behavior, mood, environment, etc. › Changes in work assignments or new information › Thoughts, insights, or ideas you have about how what you see and do is related back to what you learned in class. › Specific issues and problems you encounter during your internship 24
