Approaches to Teaching and Learning:

Students will be provided with an observation schedule by the commence date of Spring trimester. The schedule will be overseen by the programme director, module coordinator of CHN40170, and the IICS programme office.

MA TCLC students are expected to engage in observation during the first four weeks of their field activities, making detailed notes on these observations. Ideally, this observation period should include a broad experience of a wide range of classes. After four weeks, it is expected that they will team teach with their respective cooperating teacher. After 8 weeks, it is expected that they will be able to teach on their own (with the continued professional support from their cooperating teacher).

All students are required to attend in-person lectures and seminars at UCD in week 1, 2, 4, 6 and 12.
