This resource developed by Judson ISD is a comprehensive journal completed by the Extern to document the experience by providing detail information in three major areas: Background Information, Externship Experience, and Industry/Business Perception.
How could I use this resource?
1. This tool should be provided to the Teacher at the beginning of the Externship.
2. The Extern should journal their experience for the duration of the Externship.
3. The Extern will be required to interview Industry partner employees to include their input and feedback.
4. This completed journal is submitted to the STEM Coordinator or the appropriate personnel.
5. Information gathered from this journal should be summarized and communicated to the Program Coordinator and Industry Partner. The information should be used to make recommendations for improvements and enhancements to the Externship program..
Why is this resource useful?
The Extern Journal log is an excellent record of the Extern’s experience and will provide immediate feedback that can be used to determine the effectiveness of the program. This information and feedback can also be used to identify areas of improvement and opportunities to enhance the Program from both the Schools/Districts and Industry’s perspective. The information should be cataloged and maintained to document the completion and compliance of the Externship program. The tool can be shared with other campuses to establish a consistent district-wide tool used to evaluate the program at the District/Program level. Any improvement to this Externship process will directly benefit the STEM Education Program.
