It is one of the most intensive parts of the program. The would be teacher educator needs space and time in the curriculum to realistically understand the roles and functions expected of them by observing and analyzing the activities performed by the teacher educators in an institutional context. They also need opportunities to put into action the theoretical understandings about teacher preparation gained through various courses in the curriculum. This programme is in relation to the above rationale and with an intention to help students integrate theory and practice of teacher education on the one hand and of school experiences with that of teacher education on the other.
