Learning Episode 8.1: Committing to Teaching

This lesson will guide you in understanding the importance of internship as an essential
preparation for teaching

Objectives:
1. Discover the professional obligations of a student teacher
2. State the importance of fulfilling professional obligations

Education Theory
John Dewey has emphasized the need for individuals to interact with their environment in
order to learn (“6. Democracy and Education,” 2017). In teacher education, student internship
provides students with opportunities to apply what they know in the classroom. Internships do not
only provide students with experience, these also provides future teachers the opportunity to develop
other necessary skills to prepare them for the teaching profession. The experience that they will gain
will surely allow them to develop work ethics and improve communication and decision – making
skills.

It is therefore important for student teachers to be aware of their professional obligations in

order to benefit from the internship program. The student teachers should commit to the following:

 Follow the school’s policies

 Conduct one’s self in a professional manner by wearing the appropriate attire

 Confer with the College/University Supervisor on a regular basis

 Participate in all school activities such as school assemblies, faculty and PTA meetings,
athletic events, parent – teacher conferences, in – service trainings and other school functions

 Meet the cooperating teachers on a regular basis to review teaching performance, and plan
lessons

 Inform the school, cooperating teacher, and College/University Supervisor if illness would
prevent attendance in class
