Teacher Interns and Graduates
The Upper Valley Educators Institute contributes to the improvement of education by helping mature, remarkably talented people enter the teaching profession. UVEI's Class of 2012 carries on this tradition of excellence. In addition to their solid academic preparation, the majority of the interns had experience in other careers before deciding to become teachers.
There are 30 interns in the Class of 2012 with endorsements in elementary, middle and secondary education as well as language and art education. This photo of UVEI interns, Supervisors and staff was taken at orientation in August.
A rich mix of backgrounds and professions are represented in this year's class, including a former lawyer, a brewmaster, and a firefighter. Many interns have spent time in schools as substitutes and PAs, and a majority come from familiies where at least one parent was or is a teacher.
They range in age from 23 to 55, while the mean age is 36. Eleven interns hold a graduate degree.
