Avonbourne School and through our school gain an insight into the British educational system generally. The scheme is also open to Avonbourne teachers shadowing abroad in Europe.“Shadowing" involves a visiting teacher being attached as an assistant to a class teacher / head teacher. Course components include language preparation, methodology and shadowing, with supportive tutorials, guided observations, observed teaching practice, directed tasks, team teaching and assignments.
Most teachers living in the European Union are eligible to apply for funding to cover course fees, flights & airport transfers, accommodation and subsistence.
In the spirit of fostering closer ties with other educational professionals around the world and in the development of student-student, teacher-teacher and school-school links, we believe that we can learn and develop pedagogically through the sharing of ideas and best practice.
