My friend and I are reading towards a degree in education. One of our requirements is to go on teaching experience. We would love to go to Perkins School, but we do not know whom to get in touch with. Can someonw please help. We have tried the internet, but the information we got is a bit flimsy.

I'd just call the school, tell the receptionist you're interested in internship opportunities, and could they please direct you to the proper person to speak with.

I've been there, and there is a user on here who's mother works there, I could have her send you a message, the user that is. about it, or I could just direct her to this board if that will help, like I said, her mother works there, so she should be able to help you out on who to contact.

I am not looking for job guys. We wanna go there for Teaching Experience. It is like an internship but I am going to be evaluated by the university that we are currently studying at. We are in south Africa and we have tried to send e-mails but no one replies.

Post 14 by missdanceralicia (Zone BBS Addict) on Friday, 03-Apr-2009 10:03:12

yes that would be one way to a teaching experience though. just look at the web site listed above which i have provided you and some where in there it should talk about internship i believe. i know they have ELP which is also listed on the web site as to what they do. just look at the website it should tell you all this information :-)

Post 15 by missdanceralicia (Zone BBS Addict) on Friday, 03-Apr-2009 10:03:35

plus the website will give you all this information :-)

Post 16 by missdanceralicia (Zone BBS Addict) on Friday, 03-Apr-2009 10:06:54

thanks for all the response people, but having tried all that you have suggested with regards to me e-mailing no one has responded to my e-mail for weeks now. I am frustrated.

Post 18 by missdanceralicia (Zone BBS Addict) on Monday, 06-Apr-2009 18:34:17

i know my mothers work there should be somewhere on there that you should be able to call them or email them. you just have to give them time. you could look in your country and then sometime become en ELP to be at my mothers work and then from there you could work at my mothers work. you just have to give them time

Just try writing them a hard copy letter, because most times people take such letters more seriously. Good luck!

Post 24 by Charismatic (Generic Zoner) on Wednesday, 29-Apr-2009 7:02:21

I have sent e-mails and have yet to receive a response. I am running out of time actually.

Post 25 by missdanceralicia (Zone BBS Addict) on Wednesday, 29-Apr-2009 7:57:21

why does there have to be a time. you need to give the school time.

Post 26 by Charismatic (Generic Zoner) on Thursday, 14-May-2009 12:16:02

there is a time because I need to prepare many things like submiting application forms at the varsity. It is not just a matter of going for fun. This has got to do with my academics. I wouldn't go to such lengths if it was a recreational activity. But in anyway, it seems as if you do not understand.

Post 27 by missdanceralicia (Zone BBS Addict) on Sunday, 17-May-2009 13:07:12

well if you call the school or email the person of the school they should give you information. just maybe you should email them again.. i dont know. i dont know who the person you would talk to anyways about internall stuff like that. i know they have ELPs which is on nthe website too.. just go to the website
