Friendships forged: International Practicum, 2012 - 2016

Abstract

“The aim of our various teacher education programmes is to develop future teacher leaders with a sense of professionalism, having a broad perspective of education and being well-grounded in content and pedagogy. In order to achieve this, we continue to challenge our student teachers to step out of their comfort zones because it is in these challenging places where authentic learning often takes place. International Practicum (IP) is one such initiative in our Bachelor of Arts (Education) and Bachelor of Science (Education) programmes. IP seeks to broaden and deepen our undergraduates’ learning experiences, not least to help them develop a global mindset.”—Foreword.
