A faculty member in the Division of Art Education who agrees to supervise an Art Education intern is expected to perform certain responsibilities in the process of supervising the internship experience. The Art Education Faculty Internship Supervisor:
- gives final approval of the internship application
- reviews the progress of the internship experience as arranged with the intern
- reviews the progress of the internship experience as arranged with the Intern Supervisor
- moderates the online discussion forum, when applicable
- is available for meetings concerning internship activities as requested by the Intern Supervisor
- responds to all issues or concerns pertaining to the internship, as requested by the intern
- provides counseling to the intern regarding the internship, as arranged at the beginning of the internship or as requested during the internship
- mediates between the intern and the Intern Supervisor, as needed.
- oversees the termination of an internship experience, if requested to do so by the intern or the Intern Supervisor
- conducts a final evaluation of the intern and the internship experience.
- submits a letter grade (and other forms of evaluation as agreed upon at the beginning of internship) for the intern to the departmental academic adviser, upon conclusion of the internship experience

The Art Education Faculty Internship Supervisor is responsible for approving an internship application and facilitating the internship process to its desired conclusion.
Art Education faculty members are encouraged to supervise internships for the purpose of providing service-learning opportunities for graduate students in the Division of Art Education. However, supervising an intern is not a supplement for regular Art Education and Visual Art Studies faculty teaching and service obligations. Therefore, faculty supervision of interns is undertaken on a discretionary basis.
