Prairie View A&M University
Alternative Teacher Certification Program
Intern Commitment Form

This is to verify that, as an intern in the Prairie View A&M University Alternative Teacher Certification Program (ATCP), I agree to abide by the following program guidelines and intern responsibilities:

I will:

• complete the required pre-assignment observation training hours.
• complete the required coursework with no grade less than a C.
• attend all classes, workshops, meetings, etc., provided by or for the ATCP and comply with the ATCP attendance policy.
• complete all required observations of mentor/master teachers.
• turn in all required assignments, documentation and information requested in a timely manner.
• take all ExCET tests and attend ExCET preparation sessions at times determined and designated by the program director and coordinator.
• meet all financial obligations incurred during the internship year.
• provide the best instruction possible when assigned as a teacher of record.
• apply constructive criticism designed to enhance teaching skills.
• conduct myself in a professional manner at all times.
• be mindful that as an intern teacher, I represent PVAMU.

I understand that:

• payment of all University tuition and fees, and all ATCP fees is my responsibility.
• non-payment of University fees by the University scheduled deadlines will lead to my expulsion from the University and, subsequently, my expulsion from the ATCP.
• fees and payment schedules for the ATCP are separate and unrelated to the fees, tuition and payment schedules for my coursework at Prairie View A&M University.
• failure to adhere to the attendance policy for the ATCP courses will effect my eligibility to take the ExCET exam and may result in my expulsion from the ATCP.
• any requests for special consideration or changes in the established ATCP rules and policies must be submitted in writing.
• the Prairie View A&M University ATCP recommends me for my Probationary certification to the State Board for Educator Certification and may revoke that recommendation should I fail to meet the necessary program requirements.
• I must meet all ATCP requirements before I may apply for my Provisional certification with the State Board for Educator Certification.
• I have the right to be treated fairly and with respect by all staff, faculty and fellow interns in the Alternative Teacher Certification Program and that I have the responsibility of treating all staff, faculty and fellow interns in the Alternative Teacher Certification Program with that same fairness and respect. At this point on the official form, both the intern and a representative of the ATCP would sign and date the form. A copy is kept in the intern's file, and the original returned to the intern. Interns are required to sign this commitment form prior to being allowed to register for their first class with the ATCP.
