A teaching internship is a hands-on, practical experience where individuals pursuing a career in education work in real classroom settings under the guidance of an experienced teacher. During the internship, aspiring teachers apply theoretical knowledge gained from their academic studies to real-world teaching scenarios. They observe classroom dynamics, plan and deliver lessons, assess student progress, and actively engage in the day-to-day responsibilities of teaching. The internship provides a valuable opportunity for pre-service teachers to refine their instructional skills, adapt to diverse learning environments, and gain a deeper understanding of the teaching profession. Mentor teachers often play a crucial role in guiding and supporting interns throughout this practical training period.
