What UC Education students are saying about teaching clinics

"A valuable experience! It was good to have teaching experience within the one subject area". (Michelle)

"A great 'hands-on' experience and also a great way to see what works". (Peter)

"Fantastic experience and highly valuable - gives teacher confidence and skills". (Julie)

"It provided an opportunity to practice skills and work sequenstially through a concept with real students where we had to reflect on who go 'it' and what to do about those who didn't". (Kate)

"Great and necessary experience for us - it makes teaching in this subject area real and reinforces what we learn at university about teaching students this subject. It really improves confidence, content knowledge and teaching children in the classroom". (Sue)

"It is worthwhile in the sense that it provides the experience of planning content lessons and learning outcomes for a real class of students". (Sam)
