At Teachers Academy, teacher training is strengthened through real-life teaching practice and internship in a real school environment. This practical experience helps trainees understand classroom practices, school routines and the professional responsibilities of a teacher. During the course, trainees may undertake teaching practice in a suitable school or educational institution near their place. Teachers Academy provides an official letter to the concerned institution confirming that the trainee is studying at Teachers Academy and wishes to undertake practical training in a real school environment. With permission from the Head of the Institution or the concerned authority, trainees can participate in the school environment without remuneration, subject to the approval and rules of the host institution. This teaching practice and internship helps bridge the gap between theoretical teacher education and real classroom experience.
During teaching practice, trainees gain practical exposure to classroom teaching, student interaction, lesson planning, teaching methods, classroom activities, classroom management, child observation, teaching-learning materials, school routines, professional responsibilities and relevant assessment practices.
Trainees are expected to prepare and maintain lesson plans and complete the practical activities required by their respective teacher training programme. They learn to apply the knowledge gained through their course to real classroom situations and develop practical teaching skills.
Throughout the teaching practice, trainees must follow the rules, regulations, working procedures and dress code of the host institution. They are expected to maintain professional behaviour and respect teachers, staff, students and school authorities. This experience helps aspiring teachers develop confidence, communication skills, classroom awareness and a realistic understanding of the teaching profession.
Teachers Academy also offers teacher training programmes that are conducted entirely online. For eligible online teacher training programmes, teaching practice and practical training activities may be conducted through online teaching platforms and virtual classroom environments, according to the requirements of the respective programme.
Through online teaching practice, trainees can gain experience in lesson preparation, virtual classroom teaching, student interaction, teaching activities and other practical aspects appropriate to their course. This gives online learners an opportunity to apply their teacher education knowledge in a practical teaching environment.
Whether the teaching practice takes place in a physical school or through an online teaching platform, the purpose remains the same: to connect theoretical teacher education with practical teaching experience and prepare aspiring educators to become confident, responsible and classroom-ready teachers.
