Course goals
The student:
  • integrates various types of knowledge and begins to develop their own personal practical theory;
  • exchanges experiences and purposefully processes feedback;
  • specifies their own competencies and skills related to being a teacher in training and connects these to the theory;
  • defines learning objectives;
  • analyzes their own professional development and documents their progress and competencies in a portfolio;
  • integrates knowledge and skills related to Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), International Cross-cultural Education (ICE)and Internationalize your classroom (IYC) into their lessons.
Content
The practical courses PiP1a, PiP1b and PiP2 are aimed at gaining the necessary teaching experience and teaching competences in practice.

During PiP1a an initial orientation on the profession will take place. The student (after this: teacher in training (lio)) learns practical professional skills and gives a number of lessons under supervision of an internship supervisor (sb) at school. The purpose of the internship is to learn the basic competences of a teacher: providing lessons using different (activating) forms of instruction (such as teacher explanation, direct instruction, dialogue based teaching, individual instruction, experts), interaction with pupils, key pedagogical skills and classroom management.

The largest part of the course takes place at the internship school. U-TEAch students do their internship at a TTO (bilingual) school or an international school. The U-TEAch coordinator selects the placement school for each student. It is not allowed to arrange your own internship.
The full-time lio is available for the internship for eight half-days and is present at school for at least six half-days, spread over four days (Tuesday to Friday). On a part-time basis the lio is present at school for about three half-days spread over two/three days. The lio observes a total of 25 lessons and gives 25 lessons (or partial lessons) independently (a lesson being 50 minutes), in the lower grades.

On Mondays, PiP1-ers follow education at the university, in a permanent working group, in which they work on their own professional development. In these seminars practical experiences are discussed through peer review.

The courses PiP1a and PiP1b and the courses Teaching methodology 1 (PED1) and Subject teaching methodology 1 (VAKD1) are closely related. It is therefore mandatory to take PiP1b, PED1 and VAKD1 alongside each other. In addition, U-TEAch students also take Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) alongside PiP1.

The course PiP1 can also be followed in the job variant. The job has to meet the U-TEAch job requirements
