Teacher Externships still available. Every year the Inland Coalition scours the Inland Empire to find the best opportunities for our health pathway teachers to gain hands-on experience to enhance their classroom instruction. The externship is just 20 hours and you will be asked to put together a portfolio (for a sample of a great portfolio, see the HOSA portfolio) of your experience. We honor our teacher externs with a certificate of completion and an opportunity to share their experience with other teachers. Here are some of the externship sites available. We also have a spot offered by AMR starting on December 8 for a SB county pathway teacher. To get hooked up with one of these opportunities, contact Carol Allbaugh.
