Teaching Clinics
Teaching Clinics are a model of work-integrated learning developed within the University of Canberra's Faculty of Education. An innovation in teacher education, Teaching Clinics are a means of providing structured teaching experiences within disciplinary studies for teacher education students in school classrooms. The Teaching Clinics are organised and co-supervised by a University lecturer and the classroom teacher. Built on strong professional partnerships between school teachers and academics, the model is gaining international recognition as a unique way of bridging the divide between theory and practice in teacher education.

National Network of Teaching Clinics
We have established a national network of Teaching Clinics with partners in other universities. The network shares information and undertakes research and evaluation in Teacher Education. Anyone interested in the development of Teaching Clinics, either as a school teacher or teacher educator is welcome to join. We want to link up with all practitioners in Australia and overseas who are trialling this approach.For more information please email Louise Watson.
