A limited number of internships are available in the Pistoia Early Childhood Centers. The program is organized by the Pistoia Public Education Department. Students selected for the internships will travel to a school in Pistoia once a week, (a 45 minute train ride from Florence) to participate in children's activitiesand discussions with the teacher.
The internship is available either semester, but cannot be repeated, and carries 4 credits. The internship can take the place of a Sede course, but not a University course. The internship course is graded, and requires a presentation and a major research paper turned in to the director of the program at the end of the semester.
To apply for the internship, interested students should send a letter describing their background, any previous experience in the field and why they are applying to participate in the internship program with a résumé to the incoming Director AND to Professor Susan Etheredge of the Department of Education and Child Study (sethered@smith.edu). Preference will be given to students with a background in early childhood education, psychology, or experience with young children. The application deadline is May 31, 2008.
