The Practicum Coordinator will assign the students to the schools taking part in the programme, considering the interests and wishes of both students and the schools. 

Students are to check Moodle at the beginning of the course in October for specific guidelines. 

Once the students start the internship, the Practicum Coordinator will monitor its development. It will involve constant communication with the schools (both principals and tutors) in order to assure Master's students' progress. The Practicum Coordinator will also supervise the students in order to make sure they accomplish the goals of the internship.

The school tutors will evaluate and assess students' progress and in-class performance throughout the duration of teaching training internship. At the end of the internship the tutors will grade their overall performance via a Practicum report that will be submitted to the Practicum Coordinator.

During the 2021-22 academic year, students will be given individual and/or group tutorials during which they can resolve any questions that may have about the subject. Tutorials may be face-to-face or online. At the start of the academic year, students will be informed about how these personalised tutorials will take place (timetables, whether they will be face-to-face, by email, Moodle, etc.)

Evaluation

Practicum requires that participants:

1) Take part in the school internship fulfill all the requirements of both URV and the centres.

2) Hand in the Practicum report related to the internship

3) Practicum requires a lot of important paperwork, hence submitting it on time, answering all the URV Coordinator's emails on time and meeting all the deadlines will be taken into consideration on grading the subject.

Assessment Criteria

All the students must complete /submit all following parts of the subject. Failure to do so will result in failing the whole subject.

1. School tutor's report- 65% of the grade

2. Practicum report-30%of the grade

3. Meeting all the deadlines and submitting all the required documentation on time: 5%

If the public health situation requires a reduction in physical attendance, examination will be adapted to comply with the directives issued by the relevant organisations. Any changes will be notified via the news forum on Moodle.
