Based on various published scholarly works, teaching internship is an essential component of professional development in the field of teacher education. Additionally, relevant literature have accentuated the importance of students conducting reflective assessments of the internships they participate in so that educational practices can be refined. In this regard, this present study was conducted to examine the implementation of the teaching internship program of the Institute of Education, Arts, and Sciences at City College of Angeles, specifically, students from the Bachelor of Physical Education and Bachelor of Performing Arts programs. Additionally, it assessed the association and direct influence of Institutional (IE) and Company Evaluation (CE) on Program Effectiveness (PE). After obtaining data from 84 pre-service teachers (NMale = 38, NFemale = 46), it was unraveled that the perception of pre-service teachers based on Institutional Evaluation and Company Evaluation are fully implemented. Concerning PE, it was perceived by the pre-service teachers as very effective. Results revealed that the internship program of the Teacher Education department is very effective since it is responsive to the needs of the stakeholders, and at the same time effective in helping students develop the skills needed for their teaching career. Lastly, a significant association and direct influence were observed between IE, CE, and PE. In the following, recommendations and potential next steps for further research related to this topic are discussed.
