Administrative+Internship



Throughout the 2011-2012 school year, I had the privilege to complete my Administrative Internship at [|Bearfield Primary School] in Ahoskie, NC under the leadership of my mentor principal, Mrs. Julie Shields. Bearfield is located in the county of Hertford County which is in located in northeastern North Carolina. Bearfield is a Pre-K through Third Grade school with approximately 900 students. The vision of the school is "Hand in Hand . . . Together we will make a difference". When you walk in the building you feel the warmth of the school. While completing my internship, I had the opportunity to function at all levels of administration. My mentor principal provided me with hands-on experiences in dealing with staff, parents, and students. She allowed me the opportunity to "feel" my own way, which has enabled me to grow into a leader. Below are some of the activities that I participated in during my internship:
