The one-week course is designed for pre-service teachers (Primary Education Program) to observe how homeroom teachers manage classrooms and what and how instructional practices are implemented in grades 1 to 6 in the Greater Bay Area. Student teachers must follow the professional ethics of school teachers and the regulations of UM and the internship schools during the educational probation. In most cases, primary school teachers need to teach more than one subject when necessary. In order to expand student teachers’ abilities in teaching different subjects, the subjects/classrooms will be randomly assigned to student teachers for teaching observation. Note. Students’ language proficiency will be considered. English stream students may be assigned to observe non-English teaching classrooms.
