The Cycle III window is now open for internships that began (Orientation meeting) during the month of August. These internships should conclude before Spring Break.


The Kentucky Teacher Internship Program (KTIP) is a one year internship program required* of all new teachers and out-of-state teachers with less than two years of successful teaching experience who are seeking initial certification in Kentucky. This one year internship is credited to the intern for experience and retirement, and during the internship the intern is provided full benefits. All internships must officially begin no later than October 15th and continue until the end of the school-year.

During the internship, the intern is supported by a committee comprised of the Principal, a Resource Teacher, and a Teacher Educator (a representative assigned by the Regional KTIP office located at the University of Louisville). Throughout the year, the committee members observe the intern, provide support, and make suggestions for the purpose of professional growth. Upon successful completion of the internship, the intern earns a full professional teaching certificate.
