Content
The practical courses PiP1a, PiP1b and PiP2 are aimed at gaining the necessary teaching experience and teaching competences in practice.

The aim of the PiP2 internship is for lio's to become qualified first-degree teachers who meet the requirements stated in the Wet op de Beroepen in het Onderwijs (BIO).

The largest part of the course takes place at the internship school. For the PiP2 internship, the lio is usually placed at a different internship school than for PiP1.U-TEAch students do their second internship abroad. This internship abroad is a mandatory part of the U-TEAch programme. The U-TEAch coordinator selects the placement school for each student. It is not allowed to arrange your own internship. Students may provide their motivation for a particular country and personal wishes are taken into account but cannot be guaranteed. In exceptional circumstances (family, health, job, etc) or for students who have done their secondary education abroad, exemptions may be given and students may continue with PiP2 in the Netherlands. This will be discussed during the selection interview.
During PiP2, the lio has to teach 60 lessons (based on lessons of 50 minutes) independently to fixed classes in the first degree area (bovenbouw upper grades havo/vwo, MYP5-DP2, or equivalent in foreign system).

The internship abroad runs from mid-march until mid-june (with some flexibility based on foreign school schedules), and before that students work on course work in preparation to go abroad. Therefore in person sessions will be done in the month of February, and while abroad students complete most course work either online or via skype/MS Teams.  Preparation sessions before going abroad will happen on Tuesdays though some Monday sessions may be planned if need be

The lio is available for the internship on all weekdays. As a guideline, the fulltime lio is present at school on four half-days a week, spread over a maximum of three days. The parttime lio is present at school for two half-days a week.

In the tutorials online, the lio's reflect on their teaching skills, develop their own teaching style and their own practical theory. The integration of various sources of knowledge about gained in PiP1a/b serve as the basis for the development of practical theory. The course is concluded with a portfolio.

It is mandatory to take Teaching Methodology 2, CLIL, ICE, IYC and Subject Teaching Methodology 2 (including the didactic research) alongside PiP2.

The course PiP2 can also be followed in the job variant. The job has to meet the U-TEAch job requirements.
