School support (mentor)

Praxis³ aims to harmonize the perspectives and experiences of the students with regard to their goals in the internship with those of the school and university supervisors.

The program combines two elements:

1. goals:

In Praxis³, students set goals for the internship that they would like to achieve or further develop during their time at school. Over the course of the internship, the students revise their goals. To this end, the students hold accompanying discussions with you as their school mentor (and the university mentors).

The process is managed by the students via an ePortfolio on the digital platform Mahara. Students enter their goals and reflections there and are instructed on the next steps to take.

This step takes place without you as a mentor.

But: Feel free to talk to your interns about their goals. Ideally, students will bring their goals to reflection meetings with you so that you can consider together how and what they can work on next and what they have already achieved.

2. self-assessment and external assessment:

At the end of each practical phase, students fill out a questionnaire on skills that are important for the teaching profession. You as a mentor - and also the university mentors - also fill out this questionnaire so that the students receive a clear presentation from three perspectives. This assessment is intended to support the counseling sessions so that it is easy to see what the students could still work on or where your perspective and theirs (do not) match.

Your assessment is also the evaluation contribution that you should make available to the students. Once you have made your assessment, you do not need to do anything else.

The self-assessments and external assessments are carried out on a separate website and managed by the students. The students will send you a link to a questionnaire by e-mail in which you can complete your assessment.

If the students have not sent you a link, please contact them!
