Pre-internship Field Study

Purpose of Pre-internship Field Study

Pre-internship field study provides important opportunities for 'praxis' - that is, for linking the theoretical ideas explored in on-campus courses with life and practices in schools.

During pre-internship field study, partner schools are teacher candidates' 'professional homes' where teacher candidates learn about teaching and learning by collaborating with teachers to enhance student learning.

During pre-internship field study teacher candidates

• deepen professional understandings by actively participating in the life of the school through a wide range of activities.
• deepen their ability to engage with students, colleagues, parents and administrators.
• increase awareness' of broader perspectives on education and the community and the school in society.
• further develop their professional identities, gain insight into the realities of classroom teaching and evaluate their career choice.
