An introduction to real-world learning and Teacher Externships
The purpose of this toolkit is to provide a practical guide and resources for schools and colleges to develop their own Teacher Externship programme within their context and setting. Included are valuable guides for when you are working with employers to ensure you develop strong partnerships and a practical workbook for teachers for when they visit an employer. This toolkit can be used from the onboarding process through to the completion of an employer visit with a comprehensive guide for those organising Teacher Externships. You will also find a useful document covering ‘What is real-world learning?’ with links and references to evidence and research.
