TEACHING PRACTICE INFORMATION BOOKLET
What is this booklet
about?
Our aim is to introduce you to some major issues that long-term
experience has revealed as crucial to know of before you start your Teaching
Practice (TP). In our courses we have briefed you on some theoretical questions
on TP in general, while now we will look into practical considerations. We will
give you some advice on handling professional, emotional, attitudinal, and
technical factors that most often influence the outcome of the Teaching
Practice experience.
