The Institute has created networks
of local kindergartens, primary and secondary schools which
give our student teachers and academic staff access to authentic
classroom settings.
The relationship is two-way. The school staff support us in
our mission to produce quality teachers who can take on a leadership
role, and to ensure the quality of our student teachers during
field experience.
Through our engagement with schools in
 |
consultancy, |
|
training, and |
|
projects and research |
our programmes, departments,
centres and academic staff help schools and teachers to improve
their skills, and to try out innovative teaching to improve
student learning.
A key player in this task is the Centre
for Learning-study And School Partnership (CLASP). The Centre was established to improve the quality
of field experience of our student teachers. The Centre’s
first task has been to streamline field experience activities
and to enhance school partnership and mentoring activities.
