Kryteria oceniania
the practicum coordinator gives credit for the module on the basis of appropriate documents (practicum program, student's self-evaluation form, certificate proving the fulfillment of the practicum program, mentor teacher’s report).
However, the main assessment is done by the mentor teacher - the student is to present the mentor teacher's report after finishing the practicum.
Apart from that, another, equally important component of the teaching practice is the practicum coordinator's visit at the the school where the practicum is taking place while the student is teaching the CLIL unit.
