The governing internship model
Documentation is a primary responsibility.
Substantive internship activity is expected to produce governed evidence. Interns learn to distinguish direct observation from interpretation, protect learner identity, document instructional or technical interventions, classify evidence, identify emerging patterns, state limitations, and prepare records for supervisor review.
Research Methods
Research questions, observation methods, field notes, artifacts, qualitative coding, descriptive summaries, triangulation, validity, and limitations.
Supervised Practicum
Subject-matter tutoring, instructional support, or controlled technical testing provides the applied learning environment.
Evidence Governance
Contemporaneous documentation, evidence IDs, de-identification, artifact linkage, correction, verification, and supervisor review.
Analysis & Capstone
Evidence-grounded findings, methodological limitations, professional presentation, and reflective research synthesis.

Intern Evidence & Research Companion
ACA plans a dedicated companion to serve as the governed field-research notebook and evidence-intake environment for interns. The companion will structure session records, tutoring/testing observations, evidence references, privacy classifications, interpretations, claim status, supervisor review, and longitudinal project evidence.
Evidence states: Draft — Intern Recorded → Reviewed — Supervisor Verified → Governed — Accepted into ACA Evidence Layer.
