The Lyndhurst Fellowships at Memphis State University and the University of Tennessee at Knoxville were developed in cooperation with the Tennessee State Department of Education as alternative methods for the certification of secondary school teachers. Instead of the normal 4-year teacher preparation program, Lyndhurst offers for those with baccalaureate degrees in the arts and sciences, a 1-year internship to earn teacher certification. Academically talented persons are recruited for the accelerated and clinically based teacher preparation program. There is an intensive 10-week summer program, and fellows also participate in microteaching laboratories, classroom observation, peer teaching, materials development, and other activities which are designed to put into practice the theories of teaching and learning. Interns begin teaching on a two-thirds basis and attend an ongoing seminar which provides mentoring by a team of liberal arts and education professors who emphasize the blending of subject matter competence with teaching skills.
