Collaborative for Educational Services; Northampton, MA

Job Responsibilities:


  • Observe staff and student interactions

  • Assist staff when needed

  • Attend staff meetings

Over time I had more interaction with students. During their classes I would help them with their work and I also joined them playing board games at the end of the day.


Over all my experience was in need of improvement. I would not recommend other students to this site because there was a lack of organization and there were no concrete job responsibilities. I felt as though I was not an important part of the staff and I also felt ignored at times. These would be things I would change about the internship.
