Teaching Practicum
Teaching Practicum (TP) is an integral part of the teacher training programmes. It provides opportunities for students to put theory into classroom practice. In order to support students’ professional development, practicum supervision will be conducted by the Faculty’s TP supervisors during the TP periods. TP supervisors will assess students through formative and summative assessment, taking into consideration students’ teaching performance as well as their professional behaviour and attitude.

Pre-Teaching Practicum Activities
School Visit
School visit is the first step for undergraduate student teachers to experience the school life. Through visiting different schools, all teachers-to-be begin participating in school activities, understanding the roles of teachers, and observing classroom teaching and curriculum design of their major subjects.
School Attachment
As one of the important prerequisite activities of TP of undergraduate programmes, the School Attachment held in local schools allows the students to observe and participate in various school activities from a teacher’s perspective, gain school experience and learn from experienced teachers.
School Experience
School Experience is also one of the prerequisite activities of TP of all undergraduate programmes. Students will participate in a three-day School Experience to experience the school life, improve teaching skills, and develop professional attitudes.
