Course Goal
Initial teacher training is visualized essentially as an interactive process bringing together three people working within a triad towards a common purpose; 1.the university supervisor, 2.the school-based mentor teacher, 3.the student teacher. Each member of this triad brings to the student teaching experience a set of expectations for the other members. It is therefore both highly recommended and essential that all three participants in the process meet in the first weeks of the semester to collaboratively develop and plan a program of activities which meets the needs of student-intern, within the context of assigned school.
