Partner schools for profession development

By establishing partnerships with schools, the partner schools project creates a space for cooperative learning in which students and teachers can focus on advancing their professional skills. 

The students involved in this project complete all of their internships at the same partner school. This high degree of continuity is expected to lead to a stronger sense of cooperation between the students and the teachers with whom they work. It is also expected to encourage teachers to incorporate more theoretical knowledge into their practical teaching and to base their lessons more strongly on the academic needs of their pupils. These hypotheses are assessed at three intervals using quantitative online surveys, qualitative interviews and lesson observation.
