The primary purpose of this paper is the acquisition of a broad base of knowledge and varied practical experience pertinent to becoming an effective administrative leader in the future. This paper describes the internship program. The activities included in this internship such as conferences, meetings, and visits to schools and the Illinois Office of Education in Springfield are detailed chronologically. A number of suggestions are made for effective future administrative intern programs.
