A New Teacher Training Model for Türkiye

An innovative approach to the teacher training model in Türkiye from BAU: "University at School"

With the "University at School" model introduced by the BAU Faculty of Educational Sciences, prospective teachers spend part of their education on the university campus and the later semesters in schools together with primary, middle and high school students. With the project, which marks a new era in teacher education, prospective teachers complete their education in schools, the workplaces where they will work in the future.

PROFESSIONAL TEACHERS ARE BEING TRAINED

In the model, implemented for the first time in Türkiye, after receiving basic training at the university in the first two years, students attend classes in their third year as "Assistant Teachers" alongside a teacher selected from partner schools. In the final year of their university education, the experienced "Assistant Teachers" are promoted to the status of "Candidate Teachers" , this time alongside another teacher. Now in their apprenticeship period, the "Candidate Teachers" begin teaching classes one day a week and, as they gain experience, teach full days.
