Teaching Practice


This is by far the weakest area of most distance training courses, and when you check them out — what do they offer? We need classroom experience. This is where we learn our trade and develop our skills, and most of our trainees agree — you can’t have too much ‘hands-on’ classroom time. This is surely the most important single part of a teacher training course.
