Annotation

The aim of the course is to mediate an continuous, extensive teaching experience in cooperation with our partner schools and mentors. The course is closely interconnected with the course "Reflective seminar" where all the necessary administrative and theoretical preparation takes place.

Students then go to the selected schools to perform their teaching practice comprising 6 observation lessons (of the classes of their mentor and possibly other teachers) and 12 classes which the students teach under supervision of their mentor. Each of the classes is then reflected.

Students cooperate with their mentor in the planning process, assessment of students' work and they gradually gain teaching autonomy and independence. All the materials (observations, lesson plans, teaching materials, etc.) are organized in a portfolio, which is submitted at the end of the teaching practice and is then a subject of teaching practice reflective interviews with the teacher of the course.
